KEY FACTS

      • Clinical Issues

        TERMINOLOGY

        • Definitions

          • Iliac artery aneurysm: Focal or diffuse dilatation > 1.5x normal respective iliac artery diameter
            • Regarded as aneurysmal if ≥ 25 mm in diameter
          • Fusiform aneurysm: Diffusely and circumferentially involves lengthy arterial segment
          • Saccular aneurysm: Focally involves arterial segment; appears as focal outpouching or bulge
          • True aneurysm contains all 3 arterial wall layers
            • Most commonly due to atherosclerosis
          • False aneurysm (pseudoaneurysm) does not contain all 3 layers of arterial wall
            • Focal or diffuse disruption of arterial wall
            • Causes include iatrogenic or penetrating trauma, contained rupture, vascular infection (mycotic)
