What is an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm?
  • An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a swollen
    region in the lower part of the important vessel
    that supplies blood to the body (aorta). The
    aorta runs from your heart through the center of
    your chest and stomach.
  • The aorta is the biggest blood vessel in the
    body, so a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
    could cause life-threatening bleeding.
  • Depending upon the size of the aneurysm and how
    fast it is growing, treatment varies from
    watchful waiting to emergency surgery.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Symptoms
  • Abdominal aortic aneurysms usually grow gradually
    without symptoms, making them hard to detect.
    There are aneurysms that never rupture. Many
    start small and stay small others expand over
    time, some rapidly.
  • If you have an enlarging abdominal aortic
    aneurysm, you may notice
  •    Deep, continuous pain in your abdomen or on
    the side of your abdomen
  •    Back pain
  •    A pulse near your bellybutton

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Causes
  • Aneurysms could develop anywhere along the aorta,
    but most aortic aneurysms happen in the part of
    your aorta that is in your abdomen. A number of
    factors could play a role in developing an aortic
    aneurysm, including
  •    Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) -
    Atherosclerosis happens when fat and other
    substances accumulate on the lining of a blood
    vessel.
  •    High blood pressure - High blood pressure
    could damage and weaken the aorta's walls.
  •    Blood vessel diseases - These are diseases
    that cause blood vessels to become swollen.
  •    Infection in the aorta - Rarely, a bacterial
    or fungal infection may cause abdominal aortic
    aneurysms.
