Aneurysm Background Aneurysm – Out pouching of a blood vessel Caused by weakened internal elastic lamina Clinical Ruptured or un-ruptured Rupture causes hemorrhage Rupture rate 10-25 per 100,000 population 60,000 annually in the U.S. suffer from aneurysms – Half ruptured, half not. If the aneurysm ruptures, the damage is as follows: 35% die, 30% suffer severe morbidity, 35% recover Mechanical degradation of polymer Embolism
