- Aneurysm: Focal enlargement of vascular lumen
- Due to intrinsic abnormality of arterial wall
- All 3 layers of arterial wall remain intact
- Also known as true aneurysm
- Due to intrinsic abnormality of arterial wall
- Pseudoaneurysm: Contained leakage of blood from artery into adjacent soft tissues
- Due to disruption of arterial wall integrity
- Persistent communication between artery and pseudoaneurysm cavity
- Does not contain normal arterial wall components
- Also known as false aneurysm
- Due to disruption of arterial wall integrity
- Aneurysm: Focal enlargement of vascular lumen
