Total surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recurrence is not expected. (12 Dec 1998) |

Synonym: arteria ascendens, arteria intermesenterica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending posterior branch | The ascending posterior branch of the superior lobar branch of the right pulmonary artery. Synonym: ramus posterior ascendens. (05 Mar 2000) |

| bundle-branch block | <cardiology, physiology> Abnormal conduction through one of the conductive branches which normally supply the right and left ventricles. Usually results in delayed conduction though either the right or left bundle branches where one ventricle is excited before the other because of absence of conduction in one of the branches of the bundle of His. Intraventricular block due to interruption of conduction in one of the two main branches of the bundle of His and manifested in the electrocardiogram by marked prolongation of the QRS complex; block of each branch has distinctive QRS morphology. (05 Mar 2000) |

| palmar branch of median nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of median nerve arising proximal to flexor retinaculum and running superficial to it to supply skin of proximal central palm and thenar eminence. Since it does not traverse carpal tunnel, it is not affected by carpal tunnel syndrome, even though it supplies skin distal to carpal tunnel. Synonym: ramus palmaris nervi mediani. (05 Mar 2000) |
