In this 3D animated video, we examine the symptoms, treatment, complications, and life expectancy of an aortic aneurysm.
The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. Although your aorta is a tough, durable workhorse, sometimes its walls can weaken and bulge in what is called an aortic aneurysm. This could cause a leak that spills blood into your body. Some aortic aneurysms burst, and some don’t.
If your doctor finds an aneurysm, and it’s small, he might want to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t get bigger and become a problem later. If the aneurysm is large, you might need surgery or a stenting procedure to treat it.
