An aneurysm which occurs when the inside wall of the aorta is torn and blood enters the membrane.
Bulge or tear occurring between the arterial walls due to blood forcing its way through a tear in the intima between the arterial layers.
Aneurysm in which the blood makes its way between the layers of a blood vessel wall, separating them; a result of necrosis of the medial portion of the arterial wall.
An aortic aneurysm is a condition characterized by the ballooning of the first part of the aorta, which is the main artery in the body. This condition arises from a tear in the inner layer of the arterial wall, causing it to separate from the outer layer. Consequently, blood accumulates in the space between the inner and outer layers, leading to the formation of the aneurysm. Prompt medical attention is crucial for diagnosing and managing this potentially serious condition.
A dissecting aneurysm has the potential to rupture or exert pressure on the blood vessels branching out from the aorta, leading to infarction, which is the localized death of tissue due to inadequate blood supply to affected organs. This condition can cause intense chest pain that may radiate to the back or abdomen. Surgical intervention can be beneficial in alleviating these symptoms.
A state in which blood flows between the inner lining and the middle layer of an artery, creating a sac filled with blood.
