A member asked:
How dangerous is atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta and all major branches? having a lot of stomach pain as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is abnormal with possible long term consequences but not imminent dangerous, less likely the cause of your stomach pain except one exception which is called intestinal angina. Intestinal agina occurs when you have severe stenosis of the mesenteric artery which impair the blood flow to the small intestine after a meal so you have abdominal pain about 1-2 hours after eating a meal. Take care.
