|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 머리부분의 혈액을 공급하는 동맥. 온목동맥는 대동맥에서 직접 나오는 동맥으로, 바깥목동맥와 속목동맥로 나뉜다. 속목동맥은 뇌의 혈액을 공급하는 역할을 하고, 바깥목동맥은 뇌를 제외한 머리부분에 혈액을 공급하는 역할을 한다. |

| pulmonary artery aneurysm | Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery; rare in the absence of congenital heart disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anastomotic branch of middle meningeal artery to lacrimal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the middle meningeal artery arising in the cranial cavity which runs anteriorly through the superior orbital fissure to anastomose with the lacrimal artery. See: orbital branch of middle meningeal artery. Synonym: ramus anastomoticus arteriae meningeae mediae cum lacrimali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior coronary plexus | The part of the cardiac plexus that accompanies the coronary arteries on the anterior aspect of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atherectomy, coronary | Percutaneous transluminal procedure for removing atheromatous plaque from the coronary arteries. Both directional (for removing focal atheromas) and rotational (for removing concentric atheromatous plaque) atherectomy devices have been used. (12 Dec 1998) |
| valve of coronary sinus | A delicate fold of endocardium at the opening of the coronary sinus into the right atrium. Synonym: valvula sinus coronarii, coronary valve, thebesian valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty | Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of coronary artery or arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary | <anatomy, cardiology> A term applied to vessels, nerves, ligaments, etc. The term usually denotes the arteries that supply the heart muscle and, by extension, a pathologic involvement of them. Origin: L. Corona, Gr. Koron = encircling in the manner of a crown (18 Nov 1997) |
| coronary angiography | Radiography of the vascular system of the heart muscle after injection of a contrast medium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| coronary angioplasty | <cardiology, procedure> Percutaneous coronary angioplasty. This procedure involves the introduction of a thin flexible, hollow catheter into a artery in the groin. The catheter is advanced through the blood vessel to the heart. A special balloon tip on the catheter allows the physician to open a diseased (occluded) coronary artery by inflating the balloon and dilating the diseased vessel. (27 Sep 1997) |
| coronary arteries | The arteries that supply the heart with oxygenated blood. There are a number of vessels that are important with regard to coronary artery disease, but the right coronary artery, posterior descending, left main coronary artery, left anterior descending and left circumflex are probably the most frequently surgically grafted coronary vessels. (27 Sep 1997) |
| coronary arteriosclerosis | Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| coronary arteritis | Inflammation of any or all of the layers of coronary artery walls. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
