Is this a thoracic aorta issue? I have some kind of ascending mid aorta issue that showed up on a CT scan. bigger than it should be but still below size where you do surgery.

I think they start recommending surgery when the ascending aorta reaches 4.5cm. Mine was just over 4.5cm when it was replaced. I also got an artificial aortic valve.
