An aortic aneurysm is a bulging or weakening in the wall of the aorta, which can lead to a rupture if left untreated. It can occur in the chest or abdomen and requires careful monitoring and treatment.
Aortic aneurysms are typically diagnosed through imaging tests such as ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRIs. These tests help doctors like Dr. David Harnick and Dr. Raymonda Rastegar assess the size and location of the aneurysm.
Treatment for an aortic aneurysm depends on its size and location. Dr. Harnick and Dr. Rastegar may recommend lifestyle changes, medication, or in some cases, surgery to repair or replace the affected section of the aorta.
