What is the purpose of aneurymectomy?
The purpose of aneurysmectomy is to repair an aortic aneurysm that is likely to rupture if left in place. Aneurysmectomy is indicated for an aortic aneurysm that grows to at least 2 in(5 cm) or for an aortic aneurysm of any size that is symptomatic.
Does pulse rate affect size of aortic aneurysm?
I am not aware of any direct correlation. Having high blood pressure, however, can influence expansion rates and rupture odds.
6-8mm size aneurysm is what grade of aneurysm?
An aneurysm 10mm or under is considered a small aneurysm
What rate does an aneurysm grow?
Regardless of aneurysm size, it may or may not rupture. It will rupture any time it wants to, whether it's large or small. I speak from experience. Eleven years ago, I had 2 ruptured aneurysm and was very lucky to have survived it with clipping procedures. 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with a new small .05 mm unruptured aneurysm on the opposite side of the last one. Coiling was not possible cuz of the wide neck of the aneurysm so the clipping was done. BTW, regardless of the blood pressure level, the aneurysm can also rupture. Just like I said, "any time it wants to". However, the lesser chance of it rupturing if your blood pressure level is controlled. Continuous elevated blood pressure levels will provoke it to rupture. The best way you can do is control your blood pressure levels, stop smoking if you're a smoker, quit alcohol intake, live a healthy lifestyle, maintain a healthy diet, get regular doctor check-ups.
What size anerysum is dangerous?
ALL aneurysm's are bad !
How is image sharpness increased on radiograph?
increasing the focal spot size
Do the objects size change when its placed at the focal length of the concave mirror?
The objects size is not going to change. The image size, however, would.
What danger are you in just found a murmur and a anurism in the main aorta?
Depends on size, growth, localisation of the aneurysm and other factors as well. This is certainly a question you should directly ask the doctor who diagnosed the aneurysm.
At what size do abdominal aortic aneurysms need to be repaired?
At what size an aneurysm is operated on depends on the location. it also depends on the health status and others factors with the patient.
What is the relationship of focal spot blur and geometric unsharpness?
The finite size of the focal spot results in divergence of the beam beyond the magnified image of the object (creating an area called the penumbra). This is termed focal spot or geometric blurring and results in reduced image resolution. In the absence of magnification (that is, the image is adjacent to the receptor) there is no focal spot blurring.
What should be egg size during the 14nth day of cylce for rupture or conceive?
it should be in between 18mm - 40mm
What is the life expectancy of an 82 year old man with an abdominal aorta aneurysm that's 5.0 cc in size?
It isn't easy to determine without knowing the gentleman's health history and comorbidities. However - an AAA that is from 5-5.9cm has a 6.5% chance of rupture every year. So, if his AAA does not grow - then there is a 65% chance of rupture by the age of 92. If the AAA increases to 6.5cm, the rate increases to 20% per year, giving him an estimated 100% rupture risk some time over the course of 5 years once the AAA has reached that size. The overall mortality rate for ruptured AAA is 80-90%. Factors that increase risk for rupture include smoking/history of smoking, COPD, hypertension, connective tissue disease, and family history of ruptured AAA. If the aneurysm is infrarenal and far enough away from the renal arteries, this AAA could likely be repaired through minimally invasive techniques. Endovascular repair (EVAR) does not require general anesthesia or large incisions. The operation is conducted through the vessels in the legs. If considering repair, the surgeon will discuss risks/benefits and the surgeon's assessment of the patient's life expectancy will factor into this decision making process.
