An ascending aortic aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of the upper portion of the aorta, the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. This weakening and bulging of the aortic wall can increase the risk of aortic rupture or dissection, a life-threatening emergency. Symptoms may be absent initially, but as the aneurysm grows, individuals may experience chest pain, back pain, or a pulsating sensation. Treatment depends on the aneurysm's size and may include blood pressure management or surgical repair, especially if the aneurysm reaches a size at high risk of rupture.
