A member asked:
Please answer! what percentage of people that have an abdominal aortic aneurysm die from it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: Approx. 15, 000 die every year of ruptured aortic aneurysms. Once an infrarenal aortic fusiform aneurysm doubles the native aortic diameter rupture risk approx. 20%/year. Early detection with cat scan/ultrasound/mri of the aorta and elective surgical repair advised. Risk of rupture for endovascular stent repair is about 3r%within 5 years and near0% for open surgical repair.Deathfromruptureorcadiac.
