About this document

Aortic Aneurysm by hananadwan418 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Aortic aneurysms are abnormal dilatations of the aorta, most commonly occurring in the infrarenal abdominal aorta, and are significantly more prevalent in men over 60. The primary causes include atherosclerosis, smoking, and hypertension, with genetic factors also playing a role. Management typically involves surgical repair for symptomatic cases or those exceeding 5.5 cm in diameter, with endovascular repair becoming increasingly preferred due to its effectiveness and lower mortality rates.
