Detailed explanation-1: -An aneurysm-a balloon-like bulge in an artery-can develop and grow for years without causing any symptoms. But an aneurysm is a silent threat to your health. If an aneurysm grows too large, it can burst open, or rupture, and lead to dangerous bleeding inside the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is aortic aneurysm? An aortic aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart through the chest and torso. Aortic aneurysms can dissect or rupture: The force of blood pumping can split the layers of the artery wall, allowing blood to leak in between them.
Detailed explanation-3: -An aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the blood vessel wall, usually where it branches. As blood passes through the weakened blood vessel, the blood pressure causes a small area to bulge outwards like a balloon.
Detailed explanation-4: -An aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel, usually an artery. Aneurysms can expand like a balloon as the walls of the artery become thinner. The larger an aneurysm becomes, the greater the risk for rupture (bursting), which can result in life-threatening bleeding.
Detailed explanation-5: -What is an aneurysm? An aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel resulting in an abnormal widening or ballooning greater than 50% of the vessel’s normal diameter (width). An aneurysm may occur in any blood vessel, but is most often seen in an artery rather than a vein.
