Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm Ultrasound Scan

London Private Ultrasound (LPU) offers an abdominal aorta aneurysm (AAA) ultrasound scan to male and female patients over 18 years old. The aneurysm is more common in men over 65 years old.
The aneurysm is a bulging or swelling in the abdominal aorta, the main blood vessel that brings blood from the heart to the tummy and lower part of the body. Severely dilated vessels (more than 5 cm) or aneurysms are fatal and can cause sudden death if they burst.
The aneurysm can happen in other main arteries such as iliac, femoral, or popliteal arteries (Abdomen and leg arteries) or even in the brain arteries.
The Abdominal aorta aneurysm Ultrasound diagnostic examination includes the evaluation of the Abdominal Aorta, Common iliac, External and internal iliac, and common femoral arteries can be serious if aneurysm isn’t spotted initially, because it could become bigger and finally burst (rupture). LPU can provide the answers to your questions and offer you more information about your Abdominal aorta aneurysm private ultrasound scan.
