http://www.westga.edu/~wmaples/subclav.html

Extractions: 1. What is an Aneurysm? An aneurysm is an abnormal dilation of a blood vessel. This involves all layers of the vessel wall. Aneurysms pose a risk to health due to their potential to rupture, thrombose or embolize. The most common blood vessels involved are the abdominal and thoracic aorta, and circle of Willis (brain). Aneurysms of the subclavian artery (under the clavicle) are uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all peripheral aneurysms. 2. What are the causes of Aneurysm of the Subclavian Artery? The most common causes are arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), thoracic outlet obstruction (a mechanical, poststenotic dilation), post-traumatic (i.e. gun-shot, blunt trauma), aberrant (malposition) right subclavian artery and miscellaneous. Rare causes include: syphilis, tuberculosis and abnormalities of the vessel wall (fibromuscular dysplasia). 3. What are the typical symptoms? In most cases an asymptomatic pulsatile mass is detected either above or below the clavicle (collar bone). Symptoms such as dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), stridor (difficulty breathing), chest pain, hoarseness, upper extremity fatigue, numbness/tingling and gangrene or ulceration of the fingers may develop with progressive enlargement of the aneurysm. These result from compression of adjacent structures (i.e. nerves, veins, trachea or esophagus), thromboembolism (blood clots breaking off from the wall of the aneurysm) or rupture into the soft tissues of the neck.

Extractions: A cerebral aneurysm is the dilation, bulging or ballooning out of part of the wall of a vein or artery in the brain. The disorder may result from congenital defects or from other conditions such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), or head trauma. Cerebral aneurysms can occur at any age, although they are more common in adults than in children and are slightly more common in women than in men. The signs and symptoms of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm will partly depend on its size and rate of growth. For example, a small, unchanging aneurysm will generally produce no symptoms, whereas a larger aneurysm that is steadily growing may produce symptoms such as loss of feeling in the face or problems with the eyes. Immediately before an aneurysm ruptures, an individual may experience such symptoms as a sudden and usually severe headache, nausea, vision impairment, vomiting, and loss of consciousness. Rupture of a cerebral aneurysm usually results in bleeding in the brain, causing a

They are relatively common and affect the larger arteries throughout the body. They can effect the blood vessels of the brain. It is not clear why a person develops a cerebral aneurysm. They are very uncommon in patients below 20 years of age and are increasingly common in older patients. In people over 65, they may be found in as high a 5% of the population. It appears they are related to an absence of a muscular layer that makes up part of the blood vessels that over time stretches and thins and creates the aneurysm. Smoking appears to markedly increase the chance that one will develop a cerebral aneurysm. What are the dangers?

Extractions: An aneurysm is a swelling or dilation of a weakened wall in an artery. Arterial aneurysms have a tendency to grow and burst causing life threatening bleeding. Treatment of this disease has been ongoing for many years through open surgical repair of the dilated artery. Using an abdominal incision, open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms allows complete removal of the aneurysm with replacement using a piece of Teflon tubing. Within the last five years a new approach to treating aortic aneurysms has been developed. This is a minimally endoscopic invasive approach that was pioneered by Surgical Care Associates in this area.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm [May 1996; 27-3]
Discusses the effectiveness of screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm.
http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/band27/b27-3.html

Extractions: Bandolier Bandolier Library search Bandolier has been asked by a GP whether there is enough evidence about the effectiveness of screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) for it to be introduced into his practice. To try and answer this we searched MEDLINE from 1993 to the present to see if there were any new reports which helped. There was no single source of information which brought this subject together, but we did find some interesting papers. A recently published English randomised trial in Chichester [1] has tried to examine the incidence of rupture following AAA screening. It was the most useful report and worth examining in some detail. The setting was 15,775 men and women aged 65-80 years identified from GP registers and FHSA lists. These people were then randomised by computer to control and screening groups. Those randomised to screening were invited for abdominal ultrasonographic scanning by letter from their family practice; one reminder was sent if there was no reply. Aneurysm was defined as maximum aortic diameter of 3 cm or more. Annual re-scanning took place if the diameter was 3 - 4.4 cm, and at three-monthly intervals if it was 4.5 - 5.9 cm. This protocol was continued until February 1994 or until the patient died, underwent surgery or declined further follow-up. Aortic diameters of 6 cm or more, and increase of diameter of 1 cm or more in a year, or developments of symptoms attributable to the aneurysm all constituted criteria for considering surgery.
UPMC/Radiology Innovative Aortic Aneurysm Procedure
University of Pennsylvania Medical Center has created an endovascular stent graft and successfully used the device to repair an aortic aneurysm with a minimally invasive procedure.
http://www.rad.upenn.edu/IRRelease1.html

Extractions: In a marriage of techniques used in interventional radiology and vascular surgery, physicians at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center have created an "endovascular stent graft" and successfully used the device to repair an aortic aneurysm with a minimally invasive procedure. Although the pioneering effort was motivated by a desire to help an 82-year old patient deemed too weak to withstand the open surgery that is traditionally performed to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm, doctors believe a similar method will one day become the standard of care for many patients. "Although we're using specially crafted apparatus, we're making the same kind of repair that is accomplished with surgery," says Jeffrey P. Carpenter, MD, associate professor of surgery, division of vascular surgery. "The important difference is that instead of working from the outside of the patient, we work from the inside. Our new procedure is much less invasive, so the patient is spared the risks and debilitation associated with major abdominal surgery."

Extractions: search A-Z of health health news healthy living medicines ... A-Z of health Aortic aneurysm What is an aortic aneurysm? An aortic aneurysm is the dilatation (widening or bulge) of a portion of the aorta, usually at a weak spot in the aortic wall. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It carries all the blood that is pumped out of the heart and distributes it, via its many branches, to all the organs of the body. The aorta projects upwards from the heart in the chest and then arches downwards, travelling through the chest (the thoracic aorta) and into the abdomen (the abdominal aorta). The normal diameter of the abdominal aorta is about one inch. What causes an aortic aneurysm and who is at risk? Most aortic aneurysms occur in the abdominal aorta, the main cause being arteriosclerosis. This is a condition in which fatty deposits are laid down in the walls of arteries, which are less elastic and weaker as a result. Major risk factors for arteriosclerosis are smoking and high blood pressure, although it also probably runs in families. Other causes of aortic aneurysm include: trauma to the aorta, for example a crush injury to the chest following a car accident
