What is an aneurysm? So an aneurysm is actually a dilated blood vessel. They're mostly arterial, but you can actually have a venous aneurysm and there are various definitions. Some people would say it's double the size that the standard artery should be. But aneurysmal dilatation can go on to being massive compared to the original artery.
