What is an Aortic Aneurysm?

An aortic aneurysm is a dangerous bulge in the wall of the aorta — the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. If left untreated, it can rupture, causing internal bleeding and potentially fatal outcomes.

Symptoms

  • Most aortic aneurysms are silent
  • Abdominal/back pain
  • Pulsatile abdominal mass
  • Symptoms of rupture: sudden severe pain, drop in BP, shock

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is made through:

  • Ultrasound abdomen (screening)
  • Contrast-enhanced CT scan (gold standard)
  • 3D reconstruction imaging to plan treatment

Treatment Options

Medical Management:

  • Strict blood pressure control
  • Smoking cessation
  • Regular monitoring with imaging

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR):

  • Minimally invasive
  • Stent graft inserted via groin artery
