Aneurysm and dissection of artery of upper extremity - what does this mean

An aneurysm and dissection of the artery of the upper extremity is a condition in which the wall of the artery weakens and balloons out, creating a bulge, and then tears, causing blood to flow between the layers of the artery wall. this can lead to a rupture of the artery, or a blockage of the artery, both of which can be life-threatening.

What happens during the disease - aneurysm and dissection of artery of upper extremity

Aneurysm and dissection of artery of upper extremity is a condition that occurs when the wall of an artery in the upper extremity weakens and splits, forming a pocket of blood. this can occur due to an underlying structural weakness in the artery wall, a trauma to the artery, or a combination of both. the weakened wall of the artery can then lead to an aneurysm, which is a bulging of the artery, or a dissection, which is a tear in the artery wall. this can cause a decrease in blood flow to the affected area, as well as an increased risk of clot formation, stroke, and other serious complications.
