Answers:
A weakness in the wall of the vessel and/or elevated pressure within the vessel can cause it to leak or rupture!.

Deposits on the inside of blood vessels can make them more prone to fail, and there is evidence that poor nutrition can encourage the development of these, which is why proper nutrition is encouraged to prevent cardiovascular disease!. Some other diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, can also damage blood vessels!.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) can put additional wear and tear on blood vessels that may make them more prone to fail, also!.

Failures of very small blood vessels are usually harmless but may still be an indication of a more general problem that requires attention!. Failure of large vessels is usually a medical emergency!. When vessels fail inside the brain, a stroke results, although some failures are so tiny that they they may go unnoticed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
