A thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is an abnormal bulging in the aorta that spans the chest and abdominal regions, which can lead to life-threatening rupture if untreated. Symptoms may be mild or absent but can include chest or back pain, shortness of breath, and abdominal discomfort. Treatment depends on the aneurysm’s size and growth rate, typically involving careful monitoring for smaller aneurysms and surgical repair for larger or symptomatic cases to prevent rupture.
