An enlarged aorta is defined by its location on the blood vessel, the size of the bubble and what shape it takes. It is possible for the aorta to become enlarged in all directions or simply develop a small bulge on one side of the blood vessel.
AAA is when the aorta (also referred to as the main artery) gets wider as it moves through the stomach. As an aneurysm grows in size it partially destroys the wall of the aorta and could result in a ruptured aorta causing very dangerous circumstances. When it reaches 2 1/2 inches surgery is usually necessary.
