Hello, in February I had an emergency valve replacement for an 8.1cm aortic aneurysm. Today I got a CT scan for hematology due to some provoked DVT remaining from surgery. The CT notes states that my aorta is still dilated at 4.3 to 4.4 cm. The valve was completely removed and replaced so I’m wondering if it is normal for my aorta to still be so dilated? Since this was for hematology should I call my cardiologist?
