Abdominal-Aortic-Aneurysm (AAA) Screening

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening is a test to check if there’s a swelling in your aorta, which is the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the tummy (abdomen).

This is a 10-minute, painless scan that can detect potentially life-threatening aneurysms early. For more information on the AAA Screening Programme, please visit the official NHS page here.
