Nope, they are almost always a result of aging/shitty lifestyle. I went through almost 6 months of vascular/general surgery in med school and residency, and have also had some patients with AAAs in my practice, and not a SINGLE aneurysm I've dealt with was related to Marfan's or some other genetic condition. ALWAYS smoking and shitty eating/"metabolic syndrome" combined with older age.

I know several people with Ehlers Danlos as well as myself. I have yearly echos to check for aortic root dialation.
