Hey all,

It's been years since I've posted or really paid much attention to my aneurysm. To my delight, I'm still kicking it in the waiting room so I figured I would probe for updates. Does anyone know if they've figured out yet if Losartan will help with a BAV-related aneurysm, the way it does for folks with Marfans?

I saw this newer study that seems designed to find out more about TGF Beta's relationship to BAVs, but I'm confused by the findings: http://atvb.ahajournals.org/content/35/4/973.full

Cheers,

AA
