Three in four aortic aneurysms are AAAs. An aneurysm that grows and becomes large enough can burst, causing dangerous, often fatal, bleeding inside the body.ne in four aortic aneurysms are TAAs.

Two branches of the aorta are the coronary arteries, which both send oxygen and nourishment to the heart. The carotid arteries send blood to the sides of the head and neck. The aorta divides in the abdomen to form the iliac arteries, which then continue down into the legs.
