The aorta is the main artery transporting blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. As it passes through the abdomen, where it is called the abdominal aorta, it branches into two smaller arteries that bring blood to the lower half of the body.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.rush.edu/rumc/page-1160429743277.html"><P>An abdominal aortic aneurysm weakens the walls of the blood vessel, leaving it vulnerable to bursting open, or rupturing, and spilling massive amounts of blood into the abdominal cavity. Without treatment, 80 percent of those who have an abdominal aortic aneurysm die when the blood vessel ruptures. With surgery prior to a rupture, the death rate drops to less than 5 percent.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.rush.edu/rumc/page-1160429743277.html"><B>One of only a few medical centers in the <ST1:PLACE w:st="on"></ST1:PLACE>Midwest</ST1:PLACE><//ST1:PLACE> to offer this treatment</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.rush.edu/rumc/page-1160429743277.html"><STRONG><A href="http://www.rush.edu/rumc/page-1099611552013.html">Heart and Vascular Health Services</A> at<BR />Rush University Medical Center</STRONG></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D5FD7580-541F-4B8B-A607-D5E6111D31D2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
