Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a localized enlargement of the abdominal aorta, defined by a diameter greater than 3 cm or more than 50% larger than normal, which typically causes no symptoms but can lead to life-threatening rupture accompanied by severe pain, low blood pressure, or loss of consciousness. Early detection is crucial due to the high mortality risk associated with rupture.
