Aortic Aneurysm
An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of the aorta, the body's main artery. It often results from arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis. Symptoms are rare but can include sharp chest or back pain. Diagnosis is via imaging studies, and treatment ranges from monitoring to surgical intervention, depending on size and risk factors.
