Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)

 

The abdominal aorta serves the entire lower half of the body. Nearly 200,000 people in the U.S. each year are diagnosed with an AAA, which can be deadly without treatment.

Carotid Artery Disease

 

The carotid arteries supply blood to your brain. Up to 3 percent of those older than 65 have carotid artery disease, which increases the risk of stroke.
