Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, without mention of rupture - what does this mean
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is an enlargement of the aorta, the main artery of the body, in the thoracic and abdominal regions. it is caused by a weakening of the aortic wall due to aging, high blood pressure, or other underlying conditions, such as atherosclerosis or connective tissue disorders. symptoms can include chest or abdominal pain, back pain, or a pulsating sensation in the abdomen. diagnosis is usually made through imaging tests such as ct scans or mri. treatment may include lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, surgery.
What happens during the disease - thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, without mention of rupture
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is a condition in which the aorta, the largest artery in the body, weakens and balloons out in the chest and abdomen, resulting in a bulge in the wall of the aorta. this weakening is caused by a combination of age-related changes such as hardening of the aorta wall, high blood pressure, and genetic factors. over time, these changes can lead to aortic enlargement and dilation, which can cause the aorta to weaken and eventually rupture.
