What Does Psuedoaneurysm Mean?
Question: What is meant by the word suedo aneurysm?
Brief Answer:
Caused by injury(surgery, trauma, ruptured aneurys
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Pseudoaneurysm, sometimes called a false aneurysm, is a dilated artery or blood vessel. A pseudoaneurysm can form after an artery or heart chamber is injured causing blood to leak and pool outside the artery's wall. In a true aneurysm, the artery or vessel is enlarged, but the enlargement doesn't result from an injury and blood flows normally through the aneurysm.
A pseudoaneurysm may be a complication of cardiac catheterization. A pseudoaneurysm can occur if blood leaks and pools outside your femoral artery where it was punctured when the catheter was inserted. Pseudoaneurysms can also occur in other arteries throughout the body related to either surgery or trauma, or from the rupture of an aneurysm.
In all, this is blood pooling outside the lumen of an artery in most cases caused by trauma, surgery or rupture of aneurysm. Treatment of small pseudoaneurysms consist in watchful waiting and intervention is only considered when complications are eminent or set in.
