Aneurysm and dissection of iliac artery - what does this mean
An aneurysm and dissection of the iliac artery is a condition in which a weakened area of the artery wall balloons outward and forms a bulge, and the inner layers of the artery wall separate, leading to a tear in the artery. this can lead to blood leakage, blockage of blood flow, and, in some cases, rupture of the artery.
What happens during the disease - aneurysm and dissection of iliac artery
Aneurysm and dissection of the iliac artery is a condition caused by weakening of the arterial wall due to a variety of factors including hypertension, genetic predisposition, smoking, and trauma. this weakening leads to a ballooning of the artery wall and separation of the layers of the artery, resulting in a dissection of the iliac artery. this can lead to a narrowing of the artery and decreased blood flow, as well as an increased risk of rupture, which can be life-threatening.
