An aneurysm is an area of a decentralised widening (dilation) of a blood vessel. Asymptomatic patients with an AAA should be medically modified before repair, including institution of beta blockade. Aneurysms result from stretching of a degenerated artery, which balloons out rather like a worn motorcar tyre. An aortic aneurysm is a publicl term for any swelling ( dilatation or aneurysm ) of the aorta , normally indicating an fndamental weakness in the wall of the aorta at that location. It carries blood from your heart to the rest of your body. The aorta, about the breadth of a garden hose, runs through the center of your body. The aorta is the large blood vessel which tranfers oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a comparatively common, eventually life-threatening condition. This event happens in an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which typfies an enlargement of the aorta (large artery) in the abdomen.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms does not show symptoms, not detectable on physical examination, and reserved until determined during radiologic testing for other causes. The aorta overhangs at the site of the aneurysm like a weak spot on an old worn tire. This is a painless ways involving a lubricated probe pressing softly on the abdominal skin (over the aneurysm). Aneurysms usually are origin of blood clots ( emboli ) stemming from the most common etiology of atherosclerosis. The part of the aorta in your abdomen is called the “abdominal aorta.” Emergency surgery for a damaged aneurysm carries enhanced risk and less chance of survival. It carries blood to every part in the body, except the lungs. A few are present in the part of the aorta in the chest which is near the heart, and are known as thoracic aortic aneurysms. If the extended blood vessel starts to leak blood or ruptures it can cause severe, unremitting abdominal and back pain. The observed relation between atherosclerosis and AAA is probably not causative; however, atherosclerosis may represent a nonspecific secondary response to vessel wall injury that is induced by multiple factors. A heaping aorta is weakened and can burst, or rupture, resulting in life-threatening bleeding.

Causes of Abdominal Aortic Aneirysm

Common causes of Abdominal Aortic Aneirysm :

• High blood pressure.
• Heart attack.
• Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
• Tobacco abuse.
• More commonly.
• Heart disease.

Symptoms of Abdominal Aortic Aneirysm

Common symptoms of Abdominal Aortic Aneirysm :

• Stomach.
• Groin.
• Buttocks.
• Pain in your back.

Treatement of Abdominal Aortic Aneirysm

Common symptoms of Abdominal Aortic Aneirysm :

• Medical therapy of aortic aneurysms involves strict blood pressure control.
• Surgery can repair the aorta - this can be emergency surgery if the aneurysm ruptures or elective (planned) surgery if a patient has an aneurysm that is large and the risk of rupture is high. receives all the blood from the left ventricle of the heart, and continues from the heart, through the chest, and on to the abdomen.
