Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm by Susanne Shamsolkottabi Patient History The patient has an abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter. The aneurysm starts below the renal arteries and extends to the common iliac arteries. Both iliac arteries are dilated and atherosclerotic. Orientation Slices MPEG Movies Original Reconstructed Helical CT data set The original trans axial section 84 slice Toshiba Helical CT data set of a patient with an abominal aortic aneurysm. Isoview 370 was the contrast used. The volumetric data acquisition of 5 cm thickness included the aortic arch but did not include the aortic bifurcation which should have been included to allow evaluation of the common iliac arteries. The 74 images of 5mm slice thickness were generated using an interpolation algorithm with a 1:1 pitch. MIP of Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm Enhanced Maximum Intensity Projections (MIP) of an abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter. In this movie, the chest wall and spine were removed and the aorta was highlighted through segmentation. You can also see the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and renal arteries. MIP of Aneurysm and Common Iliacs Maximum Intensity Projection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter.

Update This publication contains information to help you understand and live a heart-healthy lifestyle. Aneurysms (En español) An aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in an artery. Aneurysms can form in arteries of all sizes. An aneurysm occurs when the pressure of blood passing through part of a weakened artery forces the vessel to bulge outward, forming what you might think of as a blister. Not all aneurysms are life-threatening. But if the bulging stretches the artery too far, this vessel may burst, causing a person to bleed to death. An aneurysm that bleeds into the brain can lead to stroke or death. Where do aneurysms occur in the body? In the arteries that supply blood to the brain. This is called a cerebral aneurysm. In parts of the aorta. The aorta is the large vessel that carries blood from the heart to other parts of the body. Aortic aneurysms can occur in the area below the stomach (abdominal aneurysm) or in the chest (thoracic aneurysm). An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is usually located below the kidneys. In the heart's main pumping chamber (the left ventricle). If a section of the heart wall becomes damaged after a heart attack, it causes scarring and the heart wall grows thinner and weaker. This may cause a ventricular aneurysm to form. The weakened area of aneurysm does not work well, which makes your heart work harder to pump blood to the rest of your body. Ventricular aneurysms may cause shortness of breath, chest pain, or an irregular heart beat (arrhythmia). If a ventricular aneurysm leads to congestive heart failure, left ventricular heart failure, or arrhythmia, your doctor may want you to have surgery.

An aortic aneurysm is the dilatation (widening or bulge) of a portion of the aorta, usually at a weak spot in the aortic wall. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It carries all the blood that is pumped out of the heart and distributes it, via its many branches, to all the organs of the body. The aorta projects upwards from the heart in the chest and then arches downwards, travelling through the chest (the thoracic aorta) and into the abdomen (the abdominal aorta). The normal diameter of the abdominal aorta is about one inch. What causes an aortic aneurysm and who is at risk? Most aortic aneurysms occur in the abdominal aorta, the main cause being arteriosclerosis. This is a condition in which fatty deposits are laid down in the walls of arteries, which are less elastic and weaker as a result. Major risk factors for arteriosclerosis are smoking and high blood pressure, although it also probably runs in families.

Vascular Services Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Overview An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a bulge in the aorta (the aorta is the main blood vessel coming from the heart that supplies blood to all organs) in your abdomen. In the case of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), an aneurysm develops in the part of the aorta that extends through the abdomen. The bulge occurs below the renal arteries (kidneys) and may extend into the iliac arteries (legs). Most AAAs occur in association with advanced atherosclerosis, an accumulation of fatty deposits on the vessel wall. Overview Stent-Graft Procedure Scripps Encinitas/La Jolla Program Scripps Clinic/Scripps Green Program Abdominal Aortic Stent-Graft Program The aneurysm may continue to grow larger until, like a balloon, it bursts ("ruptures"). The larger an aneurysm becomes, the easier it grows. Most people may not experience any symptoms of an AAA until it expands or bursts, resulting in massive bleeding. Aneurysm rupture can be a life-threatening event. The goal of all aneurysm operations is to prevent the aorta from rupturing. Traditionally, surgeons have repaired an AAA by replacing the affected portion of the aorta through a large abdominal incision. This “open” procedure requires general anesthesia, an average hospital stay of five to 12 days, and a prolonged recovery period of weeks or even months.

The Aneurysm Center Aneurysm (aneurism) is a bulging out of part of the wall of a blood vessel. There are a number of different types of aneurysms including an abdominal aortic aneurysm and a cerebral or brain aneurysm. An aneurysm forms where the wall has weakened, often due to the build-up of plaque. It may also be an inherited condition or a complication of high blood pressure (hypertension). Left untreated, aneurysms may tear or burst (a ruptured aneurysm). An aortic aneurysm is also known as an abdominal aneurysm, thoracic aortic aneurysm or abdominal aortic aneurysm. This condition is characterized by the ballooning out, of part of the wall of the aorta, the main artery carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. If accompanied by an aortic dissection , it is classified as a dissecting aortic aneurism. A condition called polyarteritis nodosa has been associated with abdominal aortic aneurism. Cerebral aneurysms (brain aneurysms or berry aneurysms) are the bulge in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain (one of the cerebral arteries). A cerebral aneurism (brain aneurism) is typically found where the arteries branch at the base of the brain. The cause is unknown, but smoking increases a person's risk of developing this condition, which can lead to a stroke or transient ischemic attack Ventricular aneurysms (ventricular aneurisms) are the bulging or ballooning out of part of the wall of one of the heart's lower chambers (ventricles), usually the left. They also known as a ventricular septal aneurisms, interventricular aneurisms or simply a septal aneurisms.

Aneurysm (Aneurism) Overview An aneurism (aneurysm) is a bulging out of part of the wall of a blood vessel. It forms where the wall has weakened, often due to the build-up of plaque. It may also be an inherited condition or a complication of high blood pressure (hypertension). A brain aneurism could lead to a stroke Left untreated, aneurisms may tear or burst (a ruptured aneurysm). Ruptures are very painful events that cause massive internal bleeding. The patient must be treated within minutes in order to have a chance of survival. If an aneurism bursts in the brain, it could cause a hemorrhagic stroke. If an aneurysm bursts in the chest, there is only a 20 percent chance of survival. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are critical. Because aneurysms often produce either no symptoms or mild symptoms (e.g., back pain), routine physical examinations are strongly encouraged so that a physician can regularly test for warning signs. There are a number of different types of aneurysms, which include the following: Aortic aneurysm . A general condition characterized by the distention, or ballooning out, of part of the wall of the aorta. The aorta is the main artery carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Typically, the widened part of the aorta is considered to be an aneurysm when it is more than 1.5 times its normal size. If accompanied by an

Medical professionals refer to this as aneurysm of the great vessel, or aortic aneurysm. The enlargement usually affects only a small part of the vessel, so bulge is a more accurate description. An aneurysm occurs when a section of the artery becomes weakened. The pressure of the blood flowing through the artery creates a bulge at the weak spot, much as an overinflated inner tube can cause a bulge in a tire. The bulge usually starts small and grows as the pressure continues. Aneurysms are dangerous because they can burst, causing internal bleeding.
