What is the most common type of aneurysm?

The most common type of aneurysm is the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), which occurs in the lower part of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. AAAs often develop due to atherosclerosis and can become life-threatening if they rupture. Regular screening is recommended for individuals at higher risk, such as older adults and those with a family history of aneurysms. Early detection and monitoring can significantly improve outcomes.
