A Call From a Niece

A week or so ago, I heard from one of my nieces that she had had a physical and learned she had an aneurysm. She wanted to have it repaired but the cardiologist thought it best to leave it alone.  My doctor friend said that was the best thing to do though... since it could be in a very dangerous place that is too hard to get to and could do more damage then just leaving it alone unless it gets bigger and could rupture. That would be the time to have it repaired. .

An aneurysm is a thinning or ballooning of the wall of a blood vessel.
