Aortic Aneurysm
A brief digest about this topic
Most aneurysms -- abnormal bulges or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery -- occur in the aorta. The aorta is the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
There are two types of aortic aneurysm:
- Thoracic aortic aneurysms occur in the part of the aorta running through the chest.
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms occur in the part of the aorta running through the abdomen.
Because aneurysms can develop and become large before causing any symptoms, it is important to look for them in people who are at high risk. Ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms is recommended for men who have ever smoked and are between the ages of 65 and 75. Medicines and surgery are the two main treatments for aneurysms.

Aortic aneurysm treatable with asthma drugs
eurekalert.org — “A new study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet shows that asthma drugs are a potential treatment for aortic aneurysm. These drugs, which block cysteinyl-leukotrienes, could reduce the break down of vessel wall tissue and the dilation of the aortic wall, and thus the risk of its rupturing. This could both save lives and reduce the need for complicated and risky surgery. The results are presented online in the scientific journal PNAS.” View full resource at eurekalert.org
