This is the second article in a series of articles regarding screening programmes. In this article, an overview of the abdominal aorta is provided. The article also considers the abdominal aortic aneurysm screening programme. Aortic abdominal aneurysm is described. The majority of abdominal aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic; however, if there are any symptoms, these are explained. All four UK countries offer men aged 65 years and over a screening opportunity using an ultrasound scan, the fundamental aspects of abdominal aortic aneurysm screening programmes is offered. It is emphasised that screening is not mandatory in the UK; the man has a right to decline the invitation to attend any screening programme.
