“What is the difference between ectasia and an aneurysm? ”
I went in for a calcium scan and was diagnosed with a 4.5 cm aneurysm along with one artery blocked 90% other arteries 0%. I then was sent to have a CT scan. The results came back as a 4.4 cm act easier and nothing about blocked arteries. Which is worse ectasia or aneurysms are they treated the same and do they tie into my blocked artery?

Basically a semantic continuum along the same spectrum… Aneurysm is typically defined as 50% over a normal baseline value… ectasia is below.
