Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a bulging, weakened spot on the wall of the aorta—the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. AAAs are most common in people over age 65, with men more likely to be affected than women. When an aneurysm grows larger and starts to put pressure on other nearby organs, it can burst. This is a life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. Treatment options include watching the aneurysm closely with regular imaging tests, or surgically repairing or replacing the affected area of the aorta. Early diagnosis and treatment of AAAs are essential in preventing life-threatening complications.
