Aortic Aneurysm
An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal dilation or bulging of a portion of the aorta, the main artery that leaves the heart. As the wall of the vessel weakens, it widens and, in some cases, may grow silently over years.
Signs that may appear:
- Deep pain in the chest, abdomen, or back
- A sensation of a beat or pulsation in the abdomen
- In many cases, absence of symptoms until it is detected in a study
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable if there is sudden and intense pain or a family history of aneurysms, especially with cardiovascular risk factors.
Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon are the professionals who study and manage diseases of the arteries. If you have risk factors, discussing it with a specialist allows for timely follow-up.
