Core official overview
What this condition is
What is an aortic aneurysm?An aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in the wall of an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of your body. Most aneurysms occur in the aorta, the main artery that runs from the heart through the chest and abdomen.If an aneurysm grows large, it can burst (rupture) or cause a tear in the artery wall (dissection). Both can lead to bleedin…
