Abdominal aortic aneurysm
چکیده انگلیسی

The most common site for an arterial aneurysm, i.e. the focal dilatation of the original blood vessel, is the abdominal aorta. Studies have suggested that abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are rare in women under the age of 55 and in men under the age of 60. However, in men older than 60, AAAs are nearly 10 times more common in men than in women, and many of these affected men will be asymptomatic. This article reviews the prevalence, diagnosis, including screening guidelines, and treatment options for AAA, with reference to a case study of a 72 year old male smoker diagnosed with an AAA.
