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
