With the advent of population aging and changes in diet structure, the incidence of aneurysms in China, especially abdominal aortic aneurysms, is on the rise. Statistics show that the incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm is about 8.8% among people over 65 years old. Many patients suddenly rupture their aneurysms without any symptoms and die of hemorrhage, with a mortality rate of more than 90%. Therefore, the medical community has called aneurysm a “time bomb” in the body. Today, we invited Professor Song Yan, deputy director of the Department of Vascular Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, to discuss issues related to abdominal aortic aneurysm.
