Fibroid dysplasia involves a heterogeneous group of non-atherosclerotic non-inflammatory changes in the arteries leading to vessel stenosis, occlusion, or the formation of aneurysms.
Aortic dissection - the penetration of blood through cracks in the inner shell of the aorta with the separation of the inner, middle shells and the creation of a false lumen.
Acrocyanosis is a permanent, painless, symmetrical cyanosis of the hands, feet, or face caused by the vascular spasm of small skin vessels in response to cooling.
Various aortic branches can be occluded due to atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia or other conditions, leading to symptoms of ischemia or infarction.
Aneurysms can develop in any major branch of the aorta. Such aneurysms are much less common than an aneurysm of the abdominal or thoracic aorta. Risk factors include atherosclerosis, hypertension, smoking and older age. Localized infection can cause mycotic aneurysms.
Aneurysms of the abdominal aorta account for about three-quarters of the aortic aneurysm, they affect 0.5-3.2% of the population. Prevalence in men is 3 times greater than that of women.
Aneurysms are abnormal enlargements of the arteries caused by the weakening of the arterial wall. Common causes are arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, infection, trauma and hereditary or acquired connective tissue diseases or collagenoses.
Some patients have symptoms of inflammation (acute pericarditis), others have signs of fluid accumulation (pericardial effusion). Manifestations of the disease vary depending on the severity of the inflammation, the number and location of pericardial effusion.
