Aneurysms are classified by location, etiology, or other characteristics. Pathological, blood-filled distension of blood vessel. Protruding sac in the wall of a vein, artery, or heart, frequently caused by microbial infection; may present as pain, pressure on nearby organs, or cardiac weakening.
Medicines and surgery are the two main treatments for aneurysms. Bulging or ballooning in an area of an artery secondary to arterial wall weakening. Pathological outpouching or sac-like dilatation in the wall of any blood vessel (arteries or veins) or the heart (heart aneurysm).
Most aneurysms occur in the aorta, the main artery traveling from the heart through the chest and abdomen. Aneurysms also can happen in arteries in the brain, heart and other parts of the body. If an aneurysm in the brain bursts, it causes a stroke. Aneurysms can develop and become large before causing any symptoms.
