BackgroundAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized bulge of the abdominal aorta, which mainly manifests as a pulsatile mass in the abdomen. Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures, the patient's life is seriously endangered. Surgery is the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

There were many comments that it was too late for thrombolytics or that this signified an LV aneurysm, not acute MI. See my formula for differentiating anterior LV aneurysm (that is to say, persistent ST elevation after old MI) from acute anterior STEMI. This is my response: "This is definitely acute or subacute. It is not chronic.

Aneurysms are localized dilations of blood vessels, which can expand to 50% of the original diameter. The pathophysiology of aneurysms is complex and diverse, often associated with progressive vessel wall dysfunction resulting from vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) death and abnormal extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation.

Smith : Old inferior MI with persistent ST Elevation ("inferior aneurysm") has well-formed Q-waves. In inferior aneurysm, we usually see QR-waves, whereas for anterior aneurysm, we see QS-waves (no R- or r-wave at all!). The patient had a history of ‘NSTEMI’ a decade prior, with an RCA stent.
