AtlantiCare’s vascular surgery program is nationally recognized for treating complex aortic disease.

Are YOU at risk for an Aortic Aneurysm?
An abdominal aortic aneurysm and other serious aortic conditions often develop without symptoms, and many people don’t realize they are affected until the disease has progressed. Early screening can detect aortic disease before symptoms appear or becomes life-threatening.
Review the questions below. If any of them apply to you, it may be time to speak with an aortic specialist about your personal risk and whether screening is right for you.
- Are you 55 or older?
- Do you have high blood pressure or take medication to control it?
- Have you ever smoked or used tobacco regularly?
- Has anyone in your family had an aortic aneurysm, sudden unexplained death or major aortic surgery?
- Have you ever been told you have an aneurysm or another vascular condition?
- Have you been diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve or connective tissue disorder such as Marfan Syndrome?
- Have you experienced unexplained chest, back or abdominal pain?
Don’t wait—early detection saves lives.
