    Risk factors for aneurysm include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

    Definition:

    An aortic aneurysm is a lump in the wall of your aorta, the main artery from your heart. Aortic aneurysms form in a weak area in your artery wall. They may rupture (burst) or split, which can cause life-threatening internal bleeding or block the flow of blood from your heart to various organs.


    Causes:

    Atherosclerosis

    Inflammation of the arteries
