Why is AAA dangerous?

AAA is particularly dangerous, because most patients have no symptoms until the aneurysm has ruptured or is about to. When the aneurysm ruptures most patients don’t get to the hospital in time to stop the internal bleeding that occurs.

If the aneurysm gets too big, then it can rupture, or tear, resulting in massive internal bleeding and death. Most people do not survive a ruptured AAA. Ruptured AAAs are one of the leading causes of death in the elderly in the United States – killing approximately 15,000 Americans each year. Therefore, as a known cause of death in the US, AAA is about equal to HIV/AIDS or several forms of cancer.
