Clinical Information
- AAA, or abdominal aortic aneurysm, is a bulged or swollen aorta in the abdomen. If it grows in size and ruptures, it can cause life-threatening bleeding.
- Usually, patients don’t exhibit any symptoms, but as it worsens, they may feel a constant pain or pulse in their belly or back.
- Some common causes of AAA are high blood pressure, infection in the aorta, trauma, and atherosclerosis. People more likely to develop AAA are old, use tobacco, and have a family history of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
- A patient will undergo tests such as an ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI to diagnose AAA.
- Treatment includes monitoring and checkups. However, surgery may be required if it’s hugely swollen or has a high chance of rupturing.
Synonyms Include:
- Injury of the abdominal aorta
- Leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Perforation of abdominal aorta
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm without
