Aneurysms

on 17.3.09 with 0 comments



  • localized abnormal dilatation of a blood vessel or the wall of the heart

  • true vs false aneurysms

    • true involves all layers of the artery

    • false involves few layers but then blood goes out into extravascular connective tissue

  • sacular vs fusiform aneurysms

    • fusiform looks like a spindle

    • saccule just billows out on one side
