Provides patient-facing information on the risk factors, screening, and management of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a silent but often fatal disease. AAA is most common in older people, with both modifiable (such as smoking) and hereditary (family history of AAA) risk factors influencing disease development. Screening for AAA can aid in the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease, reducing complications and death amongst those affected. Advancements in screening techniques, surgical innovations, and graft development strive to further improve patient outcomes and disease management.
