Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
This is small aneurysm and Viagra will not be problematic and it is even better to regulate blood pressure in patients with aneurysms and viagra is beneficial in this case since it lowers BP. It is just important not to take it with other antihyperetnsive to avoid too low blood pressure. 54mm aneusrims should be checked once a year by ultrasound. Wish you good health. Regards
