Barnes Jewish Hospital St Louis MO? 4.5 at root

28M very small build/body, pectus excavatum, and aortic root at 4.5. Brother is also in possession of an aortic aneurysm.

I was just wondering if anybody had been here for treatment or consultation. I’ll be going to see Dr. Alan Braverman in ten days. I’m both excited and nervous as im close to the recommended size for repair if I have genetic mutations.

What should I expect? I’d like to prepare myself for whatever might be recommended if it’s wait and watch or schedule repair.
