About Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Abdominal aortic aneurysms occur when a weakened area in the wall of the aorta results in enlargement of the vessels of at least 50 percent of their normal diameter. While aortic aneurysms can develop anywhere along the length of the aorta, the majority are located in the abdominal aorta. More than 90 percent of abdominal aneurysms are located below the renal arteries and can extend into the iliac arteries. They generally start small and remain asymptomatic for years, however, once an aneurysm forms, it will gradually increase in size. Unless treated, there will be a progressive weakening of the aneurysm wall that may rupture and lead to a life- threatening hemorrhage, and since most go undetected for quite some time, many of them are complex by the time they are treated.
