I learned that what makes aneurysms so dangerous is the person experiencing the aneurysm suffers no symptoms prior to a dissection or rupture and that aneurysms usually are found as a result of looking for something else.

Precisely my case. I had lots of CT scans after my Whipple procedure. Enough views to show the aortic aneurysm. I was somewhat surprised when I had a referral to a vascular surgeon as follow-up to CT scans looking for problems in my liver and pancreas.

Aortic aneurysms are nothing to play with, they don’t cure themselves and there is no drug or treatment that I know of that can help, the only option is surgery.
