Aneurysms may occur in all arteries but are most commonly found in the infra-renal abdominal aorta (Fig.1). Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are often associated with iliac, femoral and popliteal artery aneurysms, the last accounting for the majority of peripheral arterial aneurysms.enHealth and Medical Publishing GroupAneurysmal diseaseAbdominal aortic aneurysmsAbdominal aneurysmAortic aneurysmsArteries -- DiseasesArticle
