An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a swelling in the aorta, the artery that carries blood from the heart to the abdomen (tummy). Most aneurysms don’t cause any problems, but they can be serious because there is a threat they could burst (rupture).

Risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysms include:

• Use of tobacco: The biggest risk factor for aortic aneurysms is smoking. The walls of blood arteries, especially the aorta, are weakened by smoking. Aortic aneurysm and aneurysm rupture are more likely as a result. The risk of developing an aortic aneurysm increases with the duration and intensity of tobacco usage. To check for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, men between the ages of 65 and 75 who have ever smoked should have a single ultrasound.
• Age: People 65 years of age and older are most likely to develop abdominal aortic aneurysms.
• Sex: Abdominal aortic aneurysms are far more common in men than in women.
• Being white: White people are more likely to have abdominal aortic aneurysms.
• Family History: The presence of a family history of abdominal aortic aneurysms raises the risk for an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
• Other aneurysms: Having an aneurysm within the aorta in your chest or another large artery, as occurs with an aneurysm in the artery at the back of a knee, might make you more likely to get AA.

Monitoring: If the aneurysm is small and not producing any symptoms, doctors will keep a close eye on it using routine imaging tests, such as CT scans or ultrasounds, to observe if it changes or expands over time.

Surgery: Traditional open repair or a minimally invasive endovascular method (EVAR) to fortify the weak segment of the aorta may be required for larger or rapidly expanding aneurysms.

Lifestyle modifications: Making good lifestyle choices, such as giving up smoking, regulating blood pressure, eating a heart-healthy diet, and lowering cholesterol, can lower the risk of aneurysm formation and consequences.
