Abdominal aortic aneurysms are localized enlargements of the abdominal aorta. Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) occur when a segment of the aortic artery becomes weakened and bulges outward. This condition is particularly dangerous because it often presents with no symptoms until it is on the verge of rupture, which can be life-threatening. Risk factors for AAA include smoking, hypertension, genetic factors, and age, particularly in men over 65. Detection is usually through screening methods like ultrasound, especially in at-risk populations. Abdominal aortic aneurism treatment depends on the size and growth rate of the aneurysm, ranging from regular monitoring to surgical intervention in more severe cases. The goal is to prevent rupture, as an intact AAA can be managed much more effectively than a ruptured one.
