These he laid on a table until he had placed his head close to Kent's hearty listening to what he called the bruit--the rushing of blood through the aneurismal sac.
And now, in place of asking for her name and the reason for her visit, he became an irrational idiot, explaining to her certain matters of physiology that had to do with aortas and aneurismal sacs.
In worm aneurism we usually find large thrombi within the aneurismal dilatation of the artery, which sometimes plug the whole vessel or extend into the aorta.
The cavity of the aneurismal sac is filled with fluid or clotted blood or with layers of fibrin which adhere closely to its wall.
Beyond the seat of the ligature the artery had a rough, ragged appearance, and was sufficiently pervious to admit of the ready passage of a small probe into the aneurismal sac.
Ecchymosis then takes place under the cellular coat, which becomes thickened, and incorporated with, and strengthened by, the surrounding tissues; this is the incipient state of an aneurismal tumour.
This aneurismal diathesis occasionally exists in an astonishing degree.
This disease is termed aneurismal varix, and is not so rare as the preceding.
The areolar texture is partially absorbed, and the medullary canal filled with coagula, which are often arranged in concentric layers, as in old aneurismal sacs in other situations.
Formerly it was the practice to lay open the aneurismal tumour, to search for the extremities of the artery opening into the cavity, and to secure them by a ligature, or close them by pressure, styptics, or both.
Lallemand relates a case in which ligature of the femoral artery completely arrested an aneurismal affection of the head of the tibia; but this must be regarded as an exception to the general rule.

The calcification of an aneurismal sac may prove beneficial in strengthening a weakened blood-vessel.
The production of this form of thrombus is sought for in the treatment of certain aneurisms by direct pressure, the resulting stagnation of blood being followed by a coagulation within the aneurismal sac.
The first cases that came under my observations presenting the signs of inadequacy of the aortic valves were cases in which the valves were rendered useless in this way, namely, by the mouth of the aorta sharing in the aneurismal dilatation.

The passage of a bullet between an artery and vein may perhaps produce either condition, but wide separation of the two vessels, as for instance of the subclavian artery and vein, renders an aneurismal sac almost a certainty.
Uncomplicated cases of aneurismal varix, as might be expected, were less common than those in which the arterio-venous communication was accompanied by the formation of a traumatic sac.
An aneurismal varix of the calf vessels developed, also incomplete peroneal paralysis.
Aneurismal varix, when pure, was evidenced by the presence of purring thrill and machinery murmur alone.
This history of development is moreover supported by the observation that proximal ligature of the artery usually converts an arterio-venous aneurism into an aneurismal varix.
This is the more evident when we bear in mind that a stage in which an aneurismal sac exists can seldom be absent.
Many of the remarks in the last section find equal application here, but in the presence of an aneurismal sac non-intervention is rarely possible or advisable.
Fortunately the aneurismal sac in this case was small and showed a tendency to decrease, but in any case no interference would have been justifiable.
Four days after the injury was received, an aneurismal tumour was observed at the edge of the sternum, the surrounding effusion being greatly diminished by absorption; and at the expiration of a month, when she was first seen by Dr.
Brüchmüller estimated the percentage of aneurismal horses, six years old and upwards, at 91 per cent.
The worms found in the aneurismalwalls are probably mostly only strayed specimens.
Not unfrequently, also, palisade worms, or their coverings in the form of larval skins, are found in the aneurismal walls.
These he laid on a table until he had placed his head close to Kent's hearty listening to what he called the bruit--the rushing of blood through the aneurismal sac.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "aneurismal" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
