Aortic aneurysms are weakened blood vessels. They get their name because they occur most often in the aorta. The aorta is the main artery of the chest and abdomen. It carries blood from the heart to all parts of the body.
As the wall weakens part of the blood vessel balloons. The aneurysm may grow larger and eventually rupture if it is not diagnosed and treated.
Less than 25 percent of people will survive if their aneurysm ruptures.
