Abdominal aortic aneurysm
While low back pain rarely radiates to the abdomen, abdominal disorders can often extend to the back and be felt as acute low back pain. This process happens in an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which represents an enlargement of the aorta (large artery) in the abdomen. In the elderly population this is not uncommon and rarely is symptomatic. However, if the enlarged blood vessel begins to leak blood or ruptures it can cause severe, unremitting abdominal and back pain.Patients with these symptoms need to seek medical care immediately. If the blood loss is large enough, it will lead to hypotension (low blood pressure), unconsciousness, or death.

Dissecting Aneurysm What is a dissecting aneurysm?

An aneurysm is an abnormal swelling in a weakened blood vessel. A dissecting aneurysm occurs when blood gets through a lengthwise tear between layers of the wall of an artery (a blood vessel carrying blood from the heart to the body). These layers then separate and swell, making a balloon-shaped formation that causes severe pain. This condition can be fatal if the artery bursts. How does it occur?
This condition can be caused by a disease, birth defect, or injury. It is usually caused by arterosclerosis , a common disorder that causes narrowing of arteries and reduces circulation. High blood pressure also contributes to this disease. What are the symptoms?
  • Extreme chest, abdominal, or back pain. Sudden, extreem pain that moves toward the back between your shoulder blades, and may affect the hips and legs. Coughing up blood.

Procedure Overview
What is an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair?
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is a procedure used to treat an aneurysm (abnormal enlargement) of the abdominal aorta. Repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm may be performed surgically through an open incision or in a minimally-invasive procedure called endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
What is an abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Click Image to Enlarge An abdominal aortic aneurysm, also called AAA or triple A, is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of the aorta (the largest artery in the body) resulting in an abnormal widening or ballooning greater than 50 percent of the normal diameter (width).
The aorta extends upward from the top of the left ventricle of the heart in the chest area (ascending thoracic aorta), then curves like a candy cane (aortic arch) downward through the chest area (descending thoracic aorta) into the abdomen (abdominal aorta). The aorta delivers oxygenated blood pumped from the heart to the rest of the body.
The most common location of arterial aneurysm formation is the abdominal aorta, specifically, the segment of the abdominal aorta below the kidneys. An abdominal aneurysm located below the kidneys is called an infrarenal aneurysm. An aneurysm can be characterized by its location, shape, and cause.
