About Aortic Aneurysm Evaluation

An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of the body's main artery. Many aneurysms grow quietly without symptoms, which is why screening and surveillance matter for patients with risk factors such as age, smoking history, high blood pressure, family history, peripheral artery disease, or known vascular disease. At M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group in Forest Hills, Queens, patients can be evaluated by a vascular-focused team that reviews symptoms, risk factors, prior imaging, and whether ultrasound, CT angiography, monitoring, or referral for advanced repair planning is appropriate. Dr. Amir Salem and the M&S team help Queens and Long Island patients understand aneurysm risk in plain language while coordinating whole-body vascular care, including PAD, carotid disease, vein disease, and wound-healing concerns when present.

What to Expect

Your Visit, Step by Step

Your visit may include a review of vascular risk factors, family history, smoking history, blood pressure, medications, prior ultrasound or CT results, and any abdominal, back, chest, or leg symptoms. Depending on your situation, your clinician may recommend surveillance imaging, risk-factor management, medication coordination, or referral for advanced vascular repair evaluation. Emergency symptoms such as sudden severe chest, back, or abdominal pain require 911 care.

Who Is This For?

Frequently Asked Questions

What are symptoms of an aortic aneurysm?
Many aneurysms cause no symptoms. Sudden severe chest, back, or abdominal pain, fainting, weakness, or signs of shock can be an emergency and should be treated by calling 911.
How is an aortic aneurysm found?
Aneurysms may be found on ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, or imaging done for another reason. Some higher-risk patients may be candidates for screening ultrasound.
Does every aneurysm need surgery?
No. Smaller aneurysms may be monitored with repeat imaging and risk-factor control. Larger, fast-growing, or symptomatic aneurysms may require advanced vascular repair discussion.
Who is at higher risk?
Risk is higher with age, smoking history, high blood pressure, family history, male sex, PAD, and other vascular disease. Your clinician can help decide whether screening or surveillance is appropriate.
