Voorbeelden van aneurysm

• The essential feature of a traumatic aneurysm is that it is produced by some form of injury which divides all the coats of the artery. 

• The risk of gangrene is diminished by a course of digital compression of the femoral artery, before operating on the aneurysm. 

• The rupture of a popliteal aneurysm, however, by compressing the vein and the articular branches, usually determines gangrene. 

• They usually heal rapidly, but, like punctured wounds, are liable to be followed by the formation of an aneurysm. 

• When the bleeding is profuse, however, the parts beyond the aneurysm become greatly swollen, livid, and cold, and the pulse beyond is completely lost. 

• Histological examination showed a normal atrioventricular node and bundle, adjacent to the aneurysm.

• The aneurysms ruptured into the right ventricle in 73%, into the right atrium in 27% and into the left ventricle in less than 1%.

• Besides these, aneurysms are seen in the transition from muscular to elastic segments in such arteries as the celiac and mesenteric.

• Similar aneurysms are also seen in the large muscular arteries themselves outside the major organs.

• Approximately 15-25% of children who acquire the disease develop aneurysms of one or more coronary arteries following the acute illness.

• The most important finding is the presence of aneurysms of the coronary arteries, which have their origins in arteritis.

• Those with descending aortic aneurysm underwent conduit placement, and those with valve disease underwent repair or replacement.

• There was a saccular aneurysm of 5 mm diameter in the proximal thoracic descending aorta, two millimeters distal to the patent arterial duct.

• In the other four patients with no symptoms of ischemia, the therapy was undertaken when thrombus was detected in a coronary aneurysm.

• The cost-effectiveness of early surgery versus watchful waiting in the management of small abdominal aortic aneurysms.

• The initial reports dealt predominantly with the possibility of non-invasively detecting coronary aneurysms rather than with the specificity and sensitivity of the echocardiographic technique.

• All patients had coronary changes, and six patients had giant aneurysms and severe stenotic lesions in each coronary arteries.

• Duration and severity of arterial hypertension are likely to be important risk factors in formation of aneurysms, remote from the site of repair.

• She presented 4 weeks after reoperation with fresh haemoptysis and was subsequently found at delayed emergency surgery to have a leaking false aortic aneurysm.

• The haemoptysis in this case could have been due to erosion of a small vessel of the compressed lung by the false aneurysm.
