AAA Screening - Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

What is an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm?

An aneurysm is an abnormal ballooning, bulging or enlargement of a blood vessel. When this happens in the abdominal portion of the aorta (the largest blood vessel in the body) it is known as an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

What is an AAA Ultrasound screening?

This non-invasive procedure is performed using ultrasound. The ultrasound transducer creates digital pictures of the aorta and measures the size along the course of the vessel to identify an aneurysm.
