The first type to be described came to be known asfalse aneurysm, because following rupture or wounding of an artery, the sac which formed had for its walls the adjacent tissues or newly formed connective tissue.Arterio-venous aneurysmis the term applied to a communication between an artery and vein. If it is direct, the lesion is known asaneurysmal varix, whereas if there is an interposed sac it is namedvaricose aneurysm. Aneurysms may rarely be...Bibliography1.
