Significance of an aortic aneurysm versus a digital artery aneurysm?
An aortic aneurysm represents an underlying weakness in the wall of the aorta. If it ruptures it causes severe pain; massive internal hemmorage and, without prompt treatment, results in a quick death. A digital artery aneurysm is very rare. This is an aneurysm of one of your fingers. It can be treated with surgery and is not fatal.
How are aneurysms treated?
There are two ways, you can either get it treated to prevent rupturing, or have an emergency treatment where an aneurysm is repaired after it is ruptured. Preventative treatment is more preferred.
