Aneurysm

4. Released that destroy tissues and contribute to extracellular matrix remodeling, apoptosis, and calcification vascular smooth muscle cells and decreased wall elasticity
5. A type of aneurysm that is commonly caused by a leak between a vascular graft and a natural artery
8. A risk factor for aneurysm formation which also causes inflammatory changes that erode the vessel wall
10. A replacement and potential treatment option for rapidly dilating, large, open or endovascular surgical repair
11. Cessation of this is a form of treatment for small asymptomatic aortic aneurysms
12. Particularly susceptible to formation due to constant stress on the vessel
13. Produced by neutrophils, macrophages, and T and B lymphocytes cause an inflammatory response

1. A diagnostic tool used in the diagnosis of an aneurysm
2. Layers of the arterial wall are found to have a tear in the intima and blood is pushed between the tunica media and adventitia
3. The absence of this penetrating the media layers can lead to aneurysm formation
6. Location in which cerebral aneurysms occur causing signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and stroke
7. Cannot fully prevent the progression of small asymptomatic aneurysms, but may be a possible treatment
9. A type of aneurysm that can cause dysphagia and dyspnea
14. A type of aneurysm that involves the weakening of three layers of the arterial wall
