Aortic Aneurysm
Aortic aneurysm is dilation >50% of normal diameter. AAA (infrarenal aorta) is most common. Rupture is life-threatening. Repair at 5.5 cm (men) or 5.0 cm (women).

Core official overview
What this condition is
An aneurysm is a bulge or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. If an aneurysm grows large, it can burst and cause dangerous bleeding or even death.Most aneurysms are in the aorta, the main artery that runs from the heart through the chest and abdomen.There are two types of aortic aneurysm:Thoracic aortic aneurysms (T…
