Q

What is an aortic aneurysm?

A

Abdominal aortic aneurysms occur in the part of the aorta that passes through the middle to low abdomen.

Some causes: Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which weakens arterial walls.
Hypertension (high blood pressure).
Local injury to the artery.
Congenital abnormality.
