Aortic aneurysm of unspecified site, without mention of rupture - what does this mean
An aortic aneurysm of unspecified site without mention of rupture is a condition where the walls of the aorta become weakened and stretched, causing the aorta to balloon out and form a bulge. this bulge can remain stable or continue to enlarge, potentially leading to a rupture.
What happens during the disease - aortic aneurysm of unspecified site, without mention of rupture
Aortic aneurysm of unspecified site is a condition in which a weak area in the wall of the aorta enlarges and bulges outwards, leading to a localized dilation of the vessel wall. this is caused by a combination of factors such as advanced age, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and genetic factors. as the aneurysm enlarges, it can weaken the aortic wall and increase the risk of rupture.
