Screening

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (or AAA as it is commonly referred to) is a balloon-like swelling of the aorta, the main artery leading away from your heart which passes through your abdomen. In some people, as they get older, the wall of the aorta weakens leading to swelling and bulging. It can be serious if it is not spotted early because it could get bigger and eventually burst (rupture).

Screening for AAA is routinely offered by the NHS to all men aged 65 and over.
