On the basis of examining 42 patients, the possibilities of the timely diagnosis and surgical treatment of aortic aneurysms are discussed. The importance of the X-ray examination in the diagnosis of aneurysms of the abdominal and thoracic portions of the aorta is emphasized. Special equipment is necessary for the operative treatment of thoracic aorta aneurysms. Patients with aortic aneurysms rejecting surgical treatment die within 2-3 years after the diagnosis.
