Aortic aneurysm screening, surveillance, and vascular specialist guidance in Forest Hills, Queens
About Aortic Aneurysm Evaluation
An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of the body's main artery, most often discussed as an abdominal aortic aneurysm or thoracic aortic aneurysm depending on location. Many aneurysms grow quietly without symptoms, which is why screening and surveillance matter for patients with risk factors such as age, smoking history, high blood pressure, family history, peripheral artery disease, carotid artery disease, or known vascular disease. At M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group in Forest Hills, Queens, patients can be evaluated by a vascular-focused team that reviews symptoms, risk factors, prior imaging, and whether ultrasound, CT angiography, monitoring, or referral for advanced repair planning is appropriate. Dr. Amir Salem and the M&S team help Queens and Long Island patients understand aneurysm risk in plain language while coordinating whole-body vascular care, including PAD treatment, carotid disease monitoring, vein disease evaluation, and wound-healing concerns when present. For patients searching for aortic aneurysm screening in Queens, an aneurysm specialist near Forest Hills, or vascular aneurysm evaluation close to Rego Park, Kew Gardens, Jamaica, Flushing, and Great Neck, the visit focuses on identifying risk, clarifying the next imaging step, and explaining when urgent care or vascular repair discussion may be needed.
What to Expect
Your Visit, Step by Step
Your aortic aneurysm evaluation may include a review of vascular risk factors, family history, smoking history, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes status, medications, prior ultrasound or CT results, and any abdominal, back, chest, groin, or leg symptoms. Dr. Salem or the vascular care team may review whether an abdominal ultrasound, CT angiography, repeat surveillance imaging, or outside imaging comparison is the right next step. Depending on the size, location, and growth pattern of an aneurysm, your clinician may recommend risk-factor management, medication coordination, scheduled monitoring, or referral for advanced vascular repair evaluation. Emergency symptoms such as sudden severe chest, back, or abdominal pain, fainting, weakness, or signs of shock require 911 care.
