Aneurysm and dissection of artery of lower extremity - what does this mean
An aneurysm and dissection of the artery of the lower extremity is caused by a weakening of the wall of the artery, which can be caused by a number of factors including hypertension, atherosclerosis, and trauma. this weakening causes the artery to bulge and then tear, leading to a separation of the layers of the artery wall, resulting in an aneurysm and dissection.
What happens during the disease - aneurysm and dissection of artery of lower extremity
Aneurysm and dissection of artery of lower extremity is caused by weakening of the arterial wall, leading to localized dilation and separation of the arterial wall layers. this weakening can be caused by a variety of factors, including congenital defects, hypertension, or trauma. the separation of the arterial wall layers can lead to the formation of an aneurysm, which can also cause dissection of the artery, leading to the formation of a false lumen. this can cause further weakening of the artery and lead to life-threatening complications such as embolization and thrombosis.
