PVD2 Flashcards
vascular aneurysms caused by
- congenital or acquired weakness in the vessel media -r cardiac chamber
where do vascular aneurysms occur
- aorta or heart
classification of vascular aneurysms
- location
- configuration
- etiology
what type of aneurysm is bounded by complete but attenuated vessel wall components
- true aneurysm
types of true aneurysm
- atherosclerotic
- syphilitic
- congenital
what type of aneurysm is an extravascular hematoma that communicates with the intravascular space
- false aneurysm
types of false aneurysms
- pseudoaneurysm
- pulsating hematoma
what subtype of aneurysm is an ovoid swelling that is parallel to a long axis
- fusiform
what subtype of aneurysm is a bubble-like outpouching
- saccular
what subtype of aneurysm occurs when a hemorrhage into media separates the vessel wall layers
- dissecting
what subtype of aneurysm involves direct communication of the artery and vein
- arteriovenous
what disease is associated with aneurysm of ascending aorta
- syphilis
what disease is associated with aneurysm of ascending and thoracic aorta
- cystic medial degeneration
what disease is associated with aneurysm of abdominal aorta
- atherosclerosis
what disease is associated with aneurysm of muscular arteries
- atherosclerosis
what disease is associated with aneurysm of circle of willis
- berry aneurysm
what disease is associated with aneurysm of sites of bacterial infection
- mycotic aneurysm
abdominal aortic aneurysms are always associated with
- severe atherosclerosis
which sex predominates in abdominal aortic aneurysms
- men
which is the most frequent aneurysm type
- abdominal aortic aneurysm
dilatation in aneurysms occurs where
- distal to renal arteries
- proximal to iliac bifurcation
symptoms of abdominal aortic aneurysm
- abdominal mass
- abdominal pain
- acute ischemia of lower limb or kidneys
what is the dissection of blood in between and along the laminar planes of the media, forming a blood-filled channel within the aortic wall
- aortic dissection
is aortic dissection associated with aneurysmal swelling?
- no
do aortic dissections frequently rupture
- yes
which groups are predisposed to dissection
- men 40-60 with previous hypertension
- younger patients with connective tissue disorders like Marfan
