Introduction: The term ‘aneurysm’ is derived from the Greek word aneurysma, meaning dilatation, or widening. The International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery/Society for Vascular Surgery states that an abdominal aortic aneurysm is any focal dilation of the aorta leading to a diameter of at least 50% larger than normal. The normal aorta diameter ranges from 17 to 24mm and is dependent on various factors such as such as age, gender, and body habitus. AAA occurs when the aortic diameter is more than 30 mm in size. An unruptured aortic aneurysms are incidentally detected and come with chronic vague complaints like back pain, abdomen pain, palpitations, dyspnoea on exertion etc. A ruptured AAA is an absolute emergency and require immediate surgical intervention.
