Ama-Aneurysm

I-aneurysm iwukukhula okungajwayelekile noma ukukhula okukhulu odongeni lwe- artery yegazi. I-aneurysm ingase iqubuke. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi ukuqhuma. I-aneurysm ephukile ibangela ukuphuza kwegazi emzimbeni futhi ngokuvamile kuholela ekufeni. Amanye ama-aneurysm angase angabangeli izimpawu. Ungase ungazi ukuthi une-aneurysm ngisho noma inkulu.

Aneurysms ingathuthuka ezingxenyeni eziningi zomzimba, kufaka phakathi:

• I- artery eyinhloko yomzimba, ebizwa ngokuthi i-aorta (i-aortic aneurysm).
• Ingxenye ye-aorta edlula endaweni yesisu (i-abdominal aortic aneurysm).
• Ingxenye ye-aorta edlula esifubeni (i-thoracic aortic aneurysm).
• I- artery yegazi ethumela igazi ebuchosheni (i-brain aneurysm).
• I- artery yegazi kwezinye izingxenye zomzimba, njengezinyawo, i-groin noma intamo (i-peripheral aneurysm).

Amanye ama-aneurysm amancane anawo ubungozi obuncane bokuqhuma. Ukuze kunqunywe ubungozi bokuqhuma kwe-aneurysm, umhlinzeki wezempilo ucabangela:

• Izimpawu zakho.
• Umlando wakho wezokwelapha.
• Umlando wezokwelapha womndeni wakho.
• Usayizi, isisindo nendawo ye-aneurysm.

Ukuphathwa kwamanye ama-aneurysm kungase kuhilele kuphela ukuhlolwa kwezempilo okuvamile kanye nezivivinyo zokwenza izithombe. Uma i-aneurysm iqhuma, ukucutshungulwa okuphuthumayo okuvulekile kuyadingeka. Ngezinye izikhathi ukwelashwa okungenayo ukuhlinzwa okuthiwa yi-endovascular surgery kungase kwenziwe.

Vivien Williams: I-aneurysm iwukukhula okungajwayelekile noma ukukhula okukhulu odongeni lwe- artery yegazi.

Vivien Williams: UDkt. Bernard Bendok uthi i-aneurysm ephukile yiphuthuma lokudingeka kwezokwelapha elingabangela ukuphuza kwegazi okusongela impilo ebuchosheni.

UDkt. Bendok: Ukubonakala okuvamile yilowo muntu onenhlungu enkulu kakhulu yekhanda ekuphileni kwabo.

Vivien Williams: Ukwelashwa okusheshayo kubalulekile. Kuhlanganisa ukuhlinzwa okuvulekile noma izinketho ezingenawo ukuhlinzwa okuningi, njengokubopha i- artery ephukile ngaphakathi kwe- artery yegazi nge-coils yensimbi ne/noma ama-stents.

UDkt. Bendok uthi i-1 kuya ku-2% yabantu bane-aneurysms futhi kuphela ingxenye encane yaleyo qembu izobhekana nokuqhuma. Abantu abanemlando womndeni we-aneurysms, bane-polycystic kidney disease, isifo se-connective tissue, nabantu abakhiqiza utshwala banengozi enkulu yokuqhuma futhi kufanele bacabangele ukuhlolwa. Uma kuqhuma, ukwelashwa okusheshayo kungasindisa impilo.
