Aortic aneurysm near kidneys. 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram of an aneurysm (swelling,pink,centre) in the aorta near the kidneys in a 67-year-old man. An aneurysm is a blood-filled dilation in a blood vessel wall. It is caused by a weakening of the vessel wall,which may be caused by hardening of the vessel (atherosclerosis),high blood pressure or injury. If left untreated an aneurysm can rupture,which is often fatal. | |
