Most patients have no symptoms until the aneurysm begins to leak or expand. Most non-leaking thoracic aortic aneurysms are detected by tests -- usually a chest x-ray or a chest CT scan -- run for other reasons. Chest or back pain may mean sudden widening or leakage of the aneurysm.
In keeping with the Law of Laplace, an aortic aneurysm inevitably slowly expands, a process made more likely by hypertension. The rate of expansion is highly variable both between patients and for the individual patient over time. Thus the lifetime threat posed by a 5 cm AA (Aortic aneurysm) is considerably greater for someone aged 50 years than it is for someone over 75. The risk of rupture is related to the size of the aneurysm: the normal aorta is 1.5-2.5 cm in diameter and is defined as aneurysmal when it attains twice that diameter- in excess of 4 cm.The reported annual risk of rupture varies quite widely but is probably in the region of :
4 cm: 1 -2%
5 cm: 5-10%
6 cm: 10-15%
7 cm: more than 20%
Only a third of patients with rupture live long enough to reach hospital, and of those that are operated upon, only half survive. Thus the overall (community) mortality for rupture is as high as 80-90% and possibly many other deaths occur from rupture of an undiagnosed, asymptomatic aneurysm.
Please also note that it is possible to form a moving clot (thrombus) in the aneurysm sac and detach it into a moving clot (embolus). If the embolus prevents blood supply to a vital organ(For example:-kidney), it will result in death.
Please see the webpages for more details on Thoracic aortic aneurysm.

There are very few if any symptoms of thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysms. They are usually detected in routine exams or if your MD is suspicious. They only produce symptoms when they rupture and then you need to call paramedics.

If the aneurysm ruptures the paramedics won't help much other than transporting to the morgue. You would die in about 30-60 seconds.
