Narration

The normal abdominal aorta is typically about 2 cm and we consider it aneurysmal when it’s over about 3 cm, we measure it from out outside wall to the outside wall to avoid under-estimating any aneurysm and make sure we measure the entire aorta and not just the lumen as we’ll look at later in this lecture.
