Overview
Your aorta, the main artery carrying blood from your heart, can weaken and bulge over time. This bulge, called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), can be dangerous if it ruptures or leaks.
While some AAAs never cause problems, a ruptured AAA can lead to life-threatening bleeding. In some cases, an AAA can also disrupt blood flow to your organs, causing stroke or kidney failure.
Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent complications from AAA.
Treatments
The best treatment for AAA depends on several factors, including the size of the aneurysm, your age, family history, and overall health. The main goal is to prevent a rupture, which can cause life-threatening bleeding.
The size of the aneurysm often determines the treatment approach.
