AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
H Carrasco, C E Parry

Abstract

Four patients are reported with unresected abdominal aortic aneurysms in whom axillary bifemoral bypass surgery was performed with subsequent transcatheter embolization of steel coils and Gelfoam. Three embolization procedures resulted in complete thrombosis of the abdominal aortic aneurysm and one resulted in partial thrombosis.

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.

Aneurysm

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