False Aneurysms

چکیده
All aneurysms can be classified by location, size, shape and etiology. However, there is always significant confusion about what a false aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm is. True aneurysm presents with all three layers of arterial wall. Pseudoaneurysm or false aneurysm occurs as result of blood flow outside the normal layers of the arterial wall. Basically blood is going through the hole in the wall of artery into contained space outside. That blood is compressed by surrounding tissue so it finally reenters the artery during the cardiac cycle. Repeating this process, false aneurysm (outside the artery) begins to grow.

False Aneurysm of the Common Femoral Artery in an Infant after a Phlebotomy
False Aneurysms are uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of false aneurysm of the common femoral artery (CFA) after accidental arterial puncture, during a phlebotomy for blood sample. The lesion was surgically resected and arterial continuity restored by end to end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.
متن کاملEvidence of the inaccuracy of standard echocardiographic and angiographic criteria used for the recognition of true and "false" left ventricular inferior aneurysms.
Diagnosis of so-called false aneurysms of the left ventricle after infarction is judged to be important because the risk of rupture is high and resection of aneurysms with a narrow orifice is usually successful. Aneurysms with larger communication orifices are less likely to rupture. Echocardiographic and angiographic criteria have been devised to classify left ventricular aneurysms into two di...

OBJECTIVE To determine the morbidity and mortality of surgical treatment of false (anastomotic) aneurysms, we analyzed the results of 158 consecutive surgical procedures for repair of false aneurysms that were detected as a result of a surveillance program after aortic reconstruction with a prosthesis. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of patient data from a vascular registry that included inform...
متن کاملCoincidence of true and false left ventricular aneurysms after myocardial infarction.
False aneurysm of the left ventricle is a rare complication of myocardial infarction. In this case cross sectional echocardiography demonstrated the presence of both true and false left ventricular aneurysms. This was confirmed at operation when both aneurysms were successfully resected.
متن کاملBasic Data Underlying Clinical Decision Making
Aneurysms involving the splanchnic arteries represent an uncommon and potentially lethal form of vascular disease. Because they frequently present as life-threatening clinical emergencies, a clear understanding of the presentation and management of these aneurysms is essential for the practicing vascular surgeon. The purpose of this review was to document recent changes in the diagnosis and man...
متن کاملCLINICOPATHOLOGIC CORRELATIONS True and False Left Ventricular Aneurysms
Two cases are described of sudden death resulting from rupture of small chronic false aneurysm of the left ventricle with secondary hemopericardium. The cases support the point that rupture of chronic false left ventricular aneurysm tends to occur. This appears to be contrary to the potential for chronic true aneurysms of the left ventricle which tend not to rupture. Rupture of true left ventri...
