| 설명 | 좁아진 심장동맥을 확장시키는 행위를 말한다. 심장동맥이란 심장에 혈액을 공급하는 동맥을 이르는 말로 심장 역시 근육이어서 혈액을 공급받아야 수축을 할 수가 있다. 심장동맥이 좁아질 경우에는 심장에 혈액의 공급이 없어져서 심장동맥병이라는 병을 일으킨다. 그래서 이 심장동맥확장술은 관상동맥질환의 치료에 이용이 된다. 대개 심장동맥확장술은 큰 동맥에 긴 관(카테터라고 한다)을 꼽아서 동맥을 따라 거꾸로 대동맥까지 이르게 하고 대동맥에서 심장동맥을 찾아서 심장동맥으로 긴관을 넣는다. 그리고는 좁아진 부위에 그 관의 끝을 위치시키고 여러 가지 기구(주로 풍선을 이용한다)를 이용해서 심장동맥을 넓힌다. 이 방법을 percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty(피부경유 혈관경유 심장동맥확장술)라 한다. |

| coronary artery anomalies | <radiology> Associated with, tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), transposition of great vessels (TGV) (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| coronary artery branches | <radiology> Right coronary artery, left coronary artery (12 Dec 1998) |
| coronary artery bypass | Surgical therapy of ischemic coronary artery disease achieved by grafting a section of saphenous vein, internal mammary artery, or other substitute between the aorta and the obstructed coronary artery distal to the obstructive lesion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| coronary artery bypass graft | A surgical procedure, known as a coronary artery bypass graft, which involves replacing diseased (narrowed) coronary arteries with veins obtained from the patients lower extremities (autologous graft). During this procedure the patient is placed on a heart bypass machine (heart-lung machine) to allow the surgeon adequate time to perform surgery on the resting (nonbeating) heart. This procedure has proven to extend the lives of individuals with coronary artery disease and improve the quality of life. Recovery in the hospital is approximately 7-10 days. (27 Sep 1997) |
| coronary artery calcification | <radiology> In setting of chest pain, upto 94% will have significant coronary artery calcification (12 Dec 1998) |
| coronary artery disease | The process by which the coronary arteries become narrowed or completely occluded, is known as atherosclerosis. Ultimately, this is the underlying cause of a heart attack. (27 Sep 1997) |
| coronary artery dominance | <radiology> Dominance = source of posterior descending artery (patent ductus arteriosus), 70% right (right coronary artery), 20% balanced, 10% left (left CIRCUMFLEX artery) (12 Dec 1998) |
| coronary artery spasm | A sudden vasoconstriction of a coronary artery depriving the myocardium of blood flow and oxygen. This may clinically manifest as chest pain referred to as variant angina or Printzmetal's angina. May be precipitated by emotional stress, medications, street drugs (cocaine) or on exposure to cold. Treatment includes nitroglycerin or beta-blocker medications. (27 Sep 1997) |
| coronary atherectomy | Instrumental removal, via catheter, of atheromas in coronary arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary band | A region of the pododerm; a prominent ridge of corium and underlying tela subcutanea at the top of the hoof from which most of the wall of the hoof grows. Synonym: corium coronae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary bypass | Vein grafts or other conduits shunting blood from the aorta to branches of the coronary arteries, to increase the flow beyond the local obstruction. Synonym: aortocoronary bypass. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary bypass surgery | A surgical procedure, known as a coronary artery bypass graft, which involves replacing diseased (narrowed) coronary arteries with veins obtained from the patients lower extremities (autologous graft).
