Aortic aneurysm commonly occurs in the aorta immediately below the kidneys but
above the iliac arteries going to the legs. An aneurysm here is called an
abdominal aortic aneurysm.
The aorta is the main trunk of the arterial
system. It carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body.
An
aneurysm is an abnormal widening of an artery, in this case the aorta. This
means that the artery stretches to more than 1.5 times its normal diameter. As
blood pumps through, this stretching weakens the artery's wall, often creating
an egg-shaped ballooning.
An aneurysm can occur in any blood vessel, but
most commonly occurs in the aorta. Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm often
requires surgery and medication, but your treatment depends greatly on your
individual situation. The smaller your aneurysm, the less immediate risk it
presents. The goal of treatment is to avoid having the aneurysm rupture. Our
report outlines the benefits and risks of your possible treatment
options.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm can affect anybody, but most often
affects men between 40 and 70.
