MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seven years ago, Rudy Boesch was the oldest participant in the popular reality television series “Survivor,” competing with people less than half his age for nearly six grueling weeks on the island of Borneo. Today, at age 79, Rudy is a survivor in another way; having a serious medical condition called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This life-threatening condition is a weakness in the wall of the aorta and exists in an estimated two million Americans. AAA rupture usually occurs without any prior symptoms. Fortunately, Rudy found out about his condition before it was too late.
