Are the consequences of having a plaque in the abdominal aorta serious?

The consequences of plaque in abdominal aorta are more serious, which can easily lead to rupture and bleeding of abdominal aortic wall, narrowing of lumen and detachment of plaque. 1. Abdominal aortic wall rupture and bleeding: although the abdominal aorta is a large artery of the human body, the lumen is relatively thick, even if there is plaque formation, the blood supply to the abdominal aorta is also very small, but the appearance of plaque can lead to changes in the elasticity of the blood vessels, blood vessel wall becomes brittle and easy to rupture, which can cause hemorrhage and lead to danger. 2. Lumen narrowing: with the impact of blood flow on the vessel wall, plaque will rupture, causing the arterial wall to harden and thicken, and even causing narrowing of the arterial lumen, thus affecting the blood supply to other organs. 3. Plaque detachment: if the plaque in abdominal aorta is not treated actively, then once the plaque is detached, it will move in the direction of blood flow, leading to the blockage of some small blood vessels, causing ischemic infarction of local organs, such as cerebral infarction, cardiac infarction and so on. So after the plaque in the abdominal aorta, we need to pay attention to it, quit smoking and drinking, low-salt and low-fat diet, and consult a doctor as soon as possible, according to the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
