Arterial aneurysms, often atherosclerotic, require surgical treatment. Aneurysmectomy or resection with arterial reconstruction offers optimal outcomes for patients with these vascular conditions.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Cardiovascular Pathology
- Medical Diagnostics
Context:
- Arterial aneurysms are a significant concern in vascular pathology.
- Atherosclerosis is the primary etiological factor in most arterial aneurysms.
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms are particularly common.
Purpose:
- To analyze the etiology, morphology, location, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of arterial aneurysms.
- To evaluate diagnostic procedures for arterial aneurysms.
- To determine optimal surgical interventions for arterial aneurysms.
Summary:
- The study analyzed 63 patients with 81 arterial aneurysms, identifying atherosclerosis as the main cause (62%) and abdominal location as frequent (49%).
- Symptoms and findings vary based on aneurysm location, size, and complications.
- Echocardiography combined with clinical findings is a reliable diagnostic method, especially for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Impact:
- Surgical intervention is the definitive treatment for arterial aneurysms.
- Aneurysmectomy or resection with arterial reconstruction represents the optimal surgical approach.
- Improved understanding of aneurysm characteristics aids in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Abstract:
In a group of 63 patients with 81 arterial aneurysms the author analysed the etiology, morphology, location, clinical diagnosis and treatment. Arterial aneurysms are not so rare phenomenon in vascularly pathology, most of them there are atherosclerotic etiology (62%), abdominal location (49%), symptomatology and clinical findings depends from location, size and complications. Ehosonography with clinical findings, especially for aneurysms of abdominal aorta, are certain diagnostic procedures. The method of the treatment of such patients is only surgical, but the optimal method is the aneurysmectomy or resection of the aneurysm with the reconstruction of the artery.
