Hello. Does your father still have any pain symptoms? Are blood pressure and heart rate well controlled? What is the size and characteristics of the lesions?...
What about the question of whether type B aortic disease requires surgery? The decision of aortic surgery or intervention will depend on many factors, in which the lesion characteristics on computed tomography are extremely important.
