That Aortic aneurysm is the same as being in the pelvic area right?
Question:
Answers:
Uh, no. The aorta is the main artery that comes out of your heart. Heart is not in the pelvic area.
Aortic aneurysm is in the main artery of the heart.
The Aorta is basically the main artery of the heart that extends from the heart throughout the body. It begins on the top of the heart, curves upward, and spreads downward carrying blood throughout the body. So, yes, it could be in the pelvic area.http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.j...
not really, once the aorta passes the area of the pelvis it becomes the right and left common iliac arteries. An aneurysm is a weakened area where the blood pools in a sac, this occurs most frequently in the abdominal area below the level of the renal arteries. It will become worse over time and needs to be repaired, with a graft.
