The aorta is the largest blood vessel that is responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body. When a segment of the abdominal aorta expands into a bulge, it is known as an AAA. Aortic aneurysms can rupture and cause death or it can send off clots that may lead to limb loss.

Smoking
Hypertension
More common in men

A pulsating feeling in the abdomen
