An abdominal aortic aneurysm that ruptures can cause life-threatening bleeding. Treatment depends on the size of the aneurysm and how fast it's growing. Treatment varies from regular health checkups and imaging tests to emergency surgery.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the abnormal dilatation of the infrarenal abdominal aorta of 3.0 cm or more. 1 It occurs when the abdominal aortic wall weakens, causing it to bulge or...
The abdominal aorta enters the abdomen through the diaphragm at the level of the twelfth thoracic vertebre and continues to just below the umbilical area, where it splits into the right and left common iliac arteries. The aorta supplies oxygenated blood to most of the body.
Follow up CTA and 3D images (B,C,D) demonstrate a large partially thrombosed infrarenal aortic aneurysm (arrow). CTA, computed tomography angiography. CTA is the gold standard and imaging modality of choice ( 3 , 4 ), but has high radiation doses.
The indication for repair includes either symptomatic aneurysms or aneurysms with a diameter greater than 5.4 cm. Treatment options for the repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms are open surgical repair (OSR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
An abdominal aortic aneurysm may be visible as an area of curvilinear calcification in the paravertebral region on either abdominal or lumbar spine radiographs. Although not adequate for AAA detection or follow-up, an x-ray may be sufficient for initial detection and diagnosis.
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is an aneurysm in the lower part of the aorta, the large artery that runs through the torso. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: What You Need to Know. Abdominal aortic aneurysm is sometimes known as AAA, or triple A. Older, long-term smokers are at especially high risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm.
3D volume rendering shows an infrarenal aortic aneurysm with near total occlusion of the abdominal aorta extending to the common iliac arteries (long arrows in A). Left renal artery is also occluded with no enhancement of the left kidney.
Lateral arteriogram demonstrates infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Demonstration of superior mesenteric artery, inferior mesenteric artery, and celiac artery on lateral arteriogram is...
