Pseudoaneurysm is the medical term for a false aneurysm, usually caused by trauma to the arterial wall. This can be either blunt or penetrating trauma caused by injury, or by catheter-based medical interventions. This trauma causes the patient to bleed internally, with blood leaking from the injured artery into the surrounding tissue.

True Aneurysms vs.
False Aneurysms
In a true aneurysm, the
blood vessel or artery
affected will bulge out as it
weakens, which may form
a sac filled with blood. In a
false aneurysm or pseudoa-
neurysm, all three of the
normal arterial wall ele-
ments are lacking.

3. Treating Pseudoaneurysms
Pseudoaneurysms can cause
where blood collects in the peritoneal cavity.

Treatments for pseudoaneurysms
vary depending on the nature and
severity of the condition. In more
extreme cases, surgery may be re-
commended to correct the leakage.
In less severe cases, doctors may
use ultrasound imaging to locate the
pseudoaneurysm and inject a throm-
bin which causes the blood that is
leaking to clot. They may also use
ultrasound imaging to find the pseu-
doaneurysm and use compression to
release the blood that has built up.
