What is dilated aorta?

A dilated aorta is an aorta that is wider than normal. This is indicative of an aortic aneurysm, or a bulging of the aorta due to a weakening in the walls of the aorta. Aortic aneurysms are dangerous because they can cause the walls of the aorta to tear--aortic dissection--or rupture completely, leading to severe internal bleeding. Aortic aneurysms are repaired with surgery, but can sometimes be monitored to avoid or delay surgery. Because of the life-threatening risks associated with aortic aneurysm, medical consultation should be sought.
