These techniques involve packing the aneurysm sac with embolic devices or occluding the aneurysm-bearing artery to induce thrombosis. Endovascular stents have been introduced to allow wide-necked atypical aneurysms to be embolized while preserving the parent artery. Endovascular options are discussed for ...
Currently the 13th leading cause of death in North America, AAA has an 80 - 90 per cent chance of fatality if the aneurysm ruptures. Ruptured AAA and complications of surgical treatment are responsible for at least 15,000 deaths each year in the United States. However, as autopsies are not...
Pulsatile abdominal masses: The aneurysm can be identified with physical examinations, as a round tumor located at the umbilical, or the upper left of the umbilical, the mass can be found pulsating at a rate that is consistent with the heartbeat. Pain: The aneurysm can compress and erode ver...
A characteristic of the aneurysm is the involvement of all three layers of the arterial wall. Even though further research is necessary to confirm why an artery wall weakens to cause an aneurysm, it is believed that the underlying pathology for the formation of an aneurysm could be due to: D...

Aortic aneurysms don't necessarily cause symptoms and can be present for many years before causing a problem. An...
Endovascular Treatment Options for WNBAs WNBAs pose particular challenges that make them less amenable to conventional endovascular coiling. Vessel branch points favor aneurysm formation and eventual recurrence after treatment because of turbulent blood flow [7]. The placement of an endoluminal device to...
