Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: When It s Surgery Time © (Getty Images) Cardiologist monitors heart imaging during surgery. People who don t realize they re living with an abdominal aortic aneurysm may face a sudden aortic rupture or tear and massive, catastrophic bleeding. However, others lucky enough to know in advance that they have a small, stable AAA have the luxury of time to consider their treatment choices – from watchful waiting to a minimally invasive procedure to all-out open surgery. Here s how doctors and patients decide when and what type of elective surgery would be wise. Major Artery at Risk The aorta is the large, central artery that carries blood from the heart to your body. The upper section within the chest is the thoracic aorta, and the lower section is the abdominal aorta. Because the aorta receives pressure with each heartbeat, parts of the aorta s wall can gradually weaken in people at risk.
