If detected in time, some accessible aneurysms can be repaired by bypass surgery, but such major surgery carries a high risk for patients in poor health. British doctors 1995 devised a less invasive method of surgery involving the use of catheters to insert a polyester graft directly into the aorta via the groin. The graft is reinforced with a shape-memory alloy that expands at blood temperature. When the graft has been correctly positioned, the catheter is withdrawn and the graft expands, pushing against the aorta wall and becoming anchored. The procedure may eventually be carried out under local anaesthetic.

Extended Search Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Low Back Pain By Norman Engel, MS, DC, DABCO An aneurysm, by definition, is a sac formed by the dilatation of the wall of an artery, a vein or the heart. The chief signs of an arterial aneurysm are the formation of a pulsating tumor and often a bruit is heard over the swelling. Sometimes there are symptoms from pressure on contiguous parts. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It arises from the left ventricle, ascending and bending over the heart, descending anteriorly to the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. It splits at L-4 into the common iliacs, femorals, tibials, and dorsalis pedis arteries, supplying the lower extremities. The average diameter of aorta is 2.0-2.5 cm. More than 90 percent of abdominal aneurysms are associated with atherosclerosis and can cause leg pain (claudication), numbness or fatigue. An artery may be sclerosed (hardened) but if the lumenal diameter isn't altered, there is no aneurysm. Most abdominal aortic aneurysms do not produce symptoms, but some people feel a pulsating sensation in the abdomen. These silent (asymptomatic) aneurysms are often recognized by careful physical examination. Abdominal aortic aneurysm is most likely to occur in people older than 60 years, and it affects men more often than women.

Ullrich, Jr., MD February 28, 2001 What is this? Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm While low back pain rarely radiates to the abdomen, abdominal disorders can often extend to the back and be felt as acute low back pain. This process happens in an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which represents an enlargement of the aorta (large artery) in the abdomen. In the elderly population this is not uncommon and rarely is symptomatic. However, if the enlarged blood vessel begins to leak blood or ruptures it can cause severe, unremitting abdominal and back pain.Patients with these symptoms need to seek medical care immediately. If the blood loss is large enough, it will lead to hypotension (low blood pressure), unconsciousness, or death.
