AAA screening

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a bulge or swelling in the aorta. An AAA can be dangerous if it is not spotted early on. It can get bigger over time and could rupture, causing life-threatening bleeding. Screening for AAA is routinely offered by the NHS to all men aged 65 and over. Women aged 70 or over, who have underlying risk factors such as high blood pressure, may also be advised to attend screening for AAA.
