That reduces blood flow to vital organs, and sometimes can lead to a rupture that pours blood into surrounding tissues. It often can be caused by an aortic aneurysm, a weakened spot on the artery that can bulge like a balloon.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol that in turn stiffens arteries \u2014 called atherosclerosis \u2014 and smoking.
