ABSTRACT

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a common condition that may be lethal when it is unrecognized. Most aortic aneurysms are detected incidentally when imaging is done for other purposes or through screening programs. Ninety percent of these aneurysms are below the threshold for intervention at the time of detection. It has a predilection for the infra renal aorta. The histological structure and mechanical characteristics of infra renal aorta differ from those of the thoracic aorta. The diameter decreases from the root to the bifurcation, and the wall of the abdominal aorta also contains a lesser proportion of elastin. The mechanical tension in abdominal aortic wall is therefore higher than in the thoracic aortic wall
