“Blocked aorta?”
I have a 100% blocked aorta. There are vessels growing around it giving me blood supply. It is behind my heart. My doctor wants to watch it. I have pressure and sometimes my heart flutters. I also had a mini-stroke. Do you think I should wait? I heard it wasn't good for my other organs.

I think that the patient has a wrong diagnosis as a hundred percent improvement aorta is not compatible with the patient being alive. The patient should undergo the CT of the chest or an MRI with contrast and see the anatomy of the heart and the aorta. The patient also requires Holter monitoring for 24 hours. To me seems that the patient is misinformed or has a serious condition which should be addressed properly.
Do you have any symptoms? You should see a cardiac surgeon.
