Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

An Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by the enlargement of the lower segment of the aorta, the body's primary blood supply vessel, which extends from the heart through the chest and abdomen. Several factors contribute to the formation of AAA, including inflammation weakening the aortic artery wall, advanced age (50+ for men, 60+ for women), a history of atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, heart or peripheral vascular disease, and tobacco use. Those at the highest risk are men older than 60, smokers, Caucasians, and individuals with a first-generation relative who has had an AAA. Additional potential factors associated with AAA development include tears in the arterial wall, infections, and congenital connective tissue disorders.
