Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening in Bury
AAA screening is offered to all men over the age of 64. Anyone assigned male at birth who is over the age of 64 can have it.
Why abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening is done
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening is done to check if there are any swellings (aneurysms) in the main blood vessel in your tummy (abdomen), called the aorta. The aorta runs from your heart down to your abdomen.
AAA screening can help find an abdominal aortic aneurysm early. This means it can be monitored and treated, if needed, so it's less likely to burst (rupture), which can be life threatening.
Manchester Local Care Orgnisation AAA Screening Programme conducts AAA ultrasound scans in the community across Greater Manchester and East Cheshire region.
