Aneurysm patientsBBC
•One in 80 men screened in NI has abdominal aortic aneurysm
82% Informative
One in 80 men screened in Northern Ireland has an AAA abdominal aortic aneurysm.
AAA is a widening of the main artery (aorta) in the body, which runs through the abdomen from the heart to the stomach.
If an AAA bursts, it leads to serious internal bleeding, which is fatal in eight out of 10 cases.
The Public Health Agency said men were more likely than women to develop an AAA .
Aneurysm patients do not usually have any symptoms and when they have symptoms it usually means that the aneurysm has either burst or about to burst.
There is no medication or treatment other than surgery that could stop an aneurym growing or bursting.
Men who are over 65 and have not received a screening invite can contact the programme to self-refer on 028 9615 1212 .
