Many of the risk factors for cardiovascular problems overlap with those for aortic aneurysms. These include:. An aortic aneurysm is when the aorta bulges outward. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It begins at the heart and extends down through the chest and abdomen.
The abdominal aorta is the section of the aorta that sits deep inside the abdomen, just in front of the spine. Certain factors, such as aging or disease, can lead to the walls of the aorta weakening.
Blood pumping through the artery may cause the weakened section to bulge outward. Most abdominal aortic aneurysms are due to atherosclerosis , which is when fatty deposits build up along the insides of artery walls, restricting blood flow through the artery. People with the highest risk appear to be men aged 65 years and over who smoke or have previously smoked.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC recommend that male smokers or ex-smokers aged 65—75 years get an abdominal ultrasound screening, even if they have no symptoms. The authors of a review concluded that these screenings lead to fewer incidents of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture and a decrease in mortality rates relating to the condition. According to the National Institutes of Health NIH , 1 in 10 people who develop an abdominal aortic aneurysm have a family history of the condition.
Abdominal aortic aneurysms usually develop gradually over many years. Most people who develop one do not experience any symptoms besides a pulse in the stomach, although even this is rare.
When symptoms do occur, they are often sudden. The following symptoms are usually the result of a tear or leak in the aorta:. A severe tear or rupture in the aorta is an emergency, so anyone who has the above symptoms or witnesses someone else experiencing them should call for immediate medical help.
People should see a doctor if they suspect that they have an abdominal aortic aneurysm or if they have a higher risk of developing one. Treatment options will vary depending on the size and location of the aneurysm. For people with an aneurysm that is smaller than 5 centimeters cm in diameter, a doctor may recommend the following treatment plan:. A doctor may recommend surgery for an aneurysm that is more than 5 cm in diameter or is growing rapidly or leaking.
Some people with a healthy body weight may be able to feel a pulse in their stomach. This symptom is often harmless, especially in those without any cardiovascular problems. However, feeling a pulse in the stomach could indicate an abdominal aortic aneurysm. If you're at risk of an aortic aneurysm, your doctor might recommend other measures, such as medications to lower your blood pressure and relieve stress on weakened arteries. Tears in one or more of the layers of the wall of the aorta aortic dissection or a ruptured aneurysm are the main complications.
A rupture can cause life-threatening internal bleeding. In general, the larger the aneurysm and the faster it grows, the greater the risk of rupture. Aortic aneurysms also increase the risk of developing blood clots in the area. If a blood clot breaks loose from the inside wall of an aneurysm and blocks a blood vessel elsewhere in your body, it can cause pain or block blood flow to the legs, toes, kidneys or abdominal organs.
