classifications of aneurysms In a true aneurysm, layers of the vessel wall dilate in one of the following ways: saccular, a unilateral outpouching; fusiform, a bilateral outpouching; or dissecting, a bilateral outpouching in which layers of the vessel wall separate, creating a cavity. In a false aneurysm, the wall ruptures, and a blood clot is retained in an outpouching of tissue, or there is a connection between a vein and an artery that does not close.
