What is aortic aneurysm?
Aortic aneurysms are balloon-like enlargements in the major vessel that supplies blood to the body (aorta). They can rupture and bleed, which can be life-threatening. Aneurysms can develop anywhere along the aorta, but are most commonly in the lower portion of the aorta. Common causes include high blood pressure, fat buildup in the artery, infections, trauma, or blood vessel diseases.
