Small abdominal aortic aneurysms

Article Abstract:

Most people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is less than two inches in diameter do not need treatment. An aneurysm this small is unlikely to rupture. However, these patients should have an ultrasound scan every six months to see if the aneurysm is bigger. An aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel increases in diameter at a particular location.
