Can I ask what he implication is of having the dilation on the root or above the sinotubular junction? I ask because my 4.4cm dilation is on the aortic root.

Thanks

The root is normally quite a bit larger than the rest of the aorta, so the threshold for surgery is higher, fwiw my sons root has been 4.4 for a few years and we hardly even discuss it at his checkups, just pretty much keep an eye on it
