Abstract

Arteriomegaly describes tortuous, ectatic, irregular vessels with prolonged blood flow. Seven cases of this entity are outlined with representative case reports. The increased incidence of aneurysms, thrombosis and embolization is noted in this and other series. The possibility that tortuous vessels may be confused with aneurysms on examination is also discussed. Due to the prolongation of blood flow, adequate arteriographic evaluation may be quite difficult.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
