The period at which suppuration of the sac may occur after the ligature, varies from a few days to as many months. In the majority of instances it would appear to take place between the third and eighth week; later than this it seldom happens, though it may do so after the lapse of several months, as in a case recorded by Sir A. Cooper, in which a carotid aneurism suppurated at the eighth month. Treatment.--When an aneurism is suppurating, and is on the point of giving way, it will be better to make an incision into it, so as to let out at once the broken down and semi-putrefied contents. Its cavity must then be dressed like an ordinary abscess, with a view to its filling up by granulation, which, however, will necessarily he a slow process, in consequence of the great size and depth of the opening. During the whole of this time a tourniquet should be kept loosely applied upon the artery above the sac, so as to be tightened at any moment that bleeding takes place. If hemorrhage have already supervened, the case is attended with immediate danger. In such a case as this, the first indication is clearly to arrest the immediate flow of blood, so as to prevent the patient dying at once. This can best be accomplished by turning out the coagula and plugging the sac with lint or compressed sponge, retained in situ by a firm, graduated compress, and well-applied roller. The hemorrhage having thus been arrested for a time, the surgeon should take into consideration what steps should be adopted permanently to restrain it.
