DISCLAIMER

Aortic Aneurysm

• An aortic aneurysm is a dilation, bulging, or ballooning of a weakened part of the aortic artery wall. The normal pressure of blood from the pumping of the heart causes the weakened portion of the aorta to slowly stretch and bulge, leading to the formation of an aneurysm.

• Aneurysms may also occur in other parts of the body and the treatment options are similar.

Aortic aneurysms are dangerous because of the risk that they will rupture, causing life-threatening hemorrhage.

Treatment for an aneurysm varies according to its severity and size. If a rupture is not imminent, the physician may decide to monitor the growth of the aneurysm using ultrasound and CT scans. aneurysms whose diameter is twice the size of the normal aorta – or about 5 cm – should be considered for surgical repair. In some cases, a minimally invasive procedure called endovascular stent graft aortic aneurysm repair may be performed.
