Abdominal aortic aneurysm. Artwork of an aortic aneurysm rupturing in a patient's abdomen,as seen from the front. The arteries and bones of the lower back,groin and leg,are also shown. The aorta is the body's major artery. An aneurysm is a weakening of the walls of a blood vessel,leading to swelling and rupture. In the aorta,such rupturing is swiftly fatal. If the condition is detected before rupture,surgery is needed to repair the aorta and implant a stent to strengthen its walls | |
