Brief Answer:
No, it is safe.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The basic principle in the case of aortic aneurysm is to prevent hypertension. This drug does not cause arterial hypertension, so it does not affect the aneurysm.
Anyway you have to monitor your pressure in the first days of therapy.
Best regards
