What Causes A Small Aortic Aneurysm In A Heart Attack Survivor?

My husband has been diagnosed with a very small aortic aneurysm. This was incidental and found on an MRI of the right Renal MRI. He has been told to see a Vascular surgeon. He has Type 2 Diabetes and had a massive heart attack in2009 and had one stet and 3 bypasses. He is 70 years old. His Diabetes is under control, his AC1 level is acceptable but I am very worried. Can you tell me what I should be looking for in his health symptoms. He is high strung, very angry, has PTSD (Under Treatment) from fighting in Viet Nam in the 70 s. He takes heart medication, Diabetes meds, Celexa and Librium for the anger.
