Aortic Aneurysm Guide Illustrations
Objective
Create 12 illustrations for A Nursing Guide to Aortic Aneurysms and Their Treatment.
The comprehensive guide for nurses covers a wide range of topics from a review of the aorta’s anatomy to types, causes, and treatments of different types of aortic aneurysm.
An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in the wall of a blood vessel and can occur anywhere a blood vessel exists. This swelling is called an aneurysm if it’s 50% larger than it should be, in relation to the vessel. An aortic aneurysm occurs when this bulge occurs in the wall of the aorta.
