| 설명 | 관 혹은 통로에 있는 막과 같은 주름. 내용물의 역류를 막는다. 1.심장판막: 우심방과 우심실사이의 삼첨판, 좌심방과 좌심실사이의 승모판, 우심실과 폐동맥사이의 폐동맥반월판, 좌심실과 대동맥사이의 대동맥반월판이 있다. 2.정맥판막: 정맥에서 발견되는 내막의 작은 첨 혹은 주름. 탄력성이 적어 역류되기 쉬운 정맥혈의 흐름을 역류없이 정상적인 방향으로 지속되도록 해준다. 3.인공판막: 심장판막부족이나 심장판막협착이 있어 더이상 자신의 판막으로는 생존이 불가능할 때 대신 이식하게 되는 인공판막을 말한다. 크게 동물의 조직을 이용한 것과 그렇지 않은 것으로 양분할 수 있다. 동물의 조직을 이용한 것은 주로 돼지나 소의 판막 또는 심외막 등을 이용하며, 그렇지 않은 것은 특수한 금속을 이용하여 만든다. |

| semilunar cusp | One of the three semilunar segments serving as the three cusps of a valve preventing regurgitation at the beginning of the aorta; a similar valve guards the entrance of the pulmonary trunk; the segments are named, respectively, anterior, right, and left in the pulmonary valve, and posterior, right, and left in the aortic valve.

| talon cusp | An anomalous cusp that projects lingually from the cingulum of permanent incisors. Origin: Eng. Claw, heel, fr. O. Fr., fr. L. Talus, ankle (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal aortic aneurysm | <surgery> A distended and weakened area in the wall of the abdominal aorta, more common in those who suffer from atherosclerosis. Symptoms include sudden, severe abdominal pain with radiation to the back. (27 Sep 1997) |
| abdominal aortic coarctation | <radiology> 2% of all coarctations, (most common site is thoracic: just distal to origin of L SCA), may be isolated congenital anomaly, associated with: thoracic aortic coarctation, idiopathic hypercalcaemia syndrome, rubella syndrome (ToRCHS), Takayasu arteritis, neurofibromatosis, radiation therapy, fibromuscular disease (12 Dec 1998) |
| abdominal aortic plexus | <anatomy, neurology> An autonomic plexus surrounding the abdominal aorta, directly continuous with the thoracic aortic plexus above and continued inferior to the bifurcation of the aorta as the superior hypogastric plexus. Synonym: plexus aorticus abdominalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute aortic dissection | <cardiology> A condition in which a weakened portion of the thoracic aorta begins to tear along the longitudinal axis of the vessel. Symptoms include sudden, severe chest pain that may radiate to the back accompanied by nausea, sweating and difficulty breathing. A common risk factor for this event is atherosclerotic vascular disease and-or hypertension. Advanced cases of syphilis (syphilitic aortitis) can also result in acute thoracic dissection as a complication of infection with Treponema pallidum. (27 Sep 1997) |
| aortic | Relating to the aorta or the aortic orifice of the left ventricle of the heart. Synonym: aortal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic aneurysm | Dangeous ballooning of the aorta (the main artery leaving the heart) which is caused by disease in the artery's wall. (09 Oct 1997) |
| aortic aneurysm, abdominal | An aneurysm in that part of the aorta continuing from the thoracic region and giving rise to the inferior phrenic, lumbar, median sacral, mesenteric, renal, and ovarian or testicular arteries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aortic aneurysm, thoracic | An aneurysm in the proximal portion of the descending aorta proceeding from the arch of the aorta and giving rise to the bronchial, oesophageal, pericardiac, and mediastinal branches. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aortic arch | The curved portion between the ascending and descending parts of the aorta; it begins as a continuation of the ascending aorta posterior to the sternal angle, runs posteriorly and slightly to the left as it passes over the root of the left lung, and becomes the descending aorta as it reaches and begins to course along the vertebral column; it gives rise to the brachiocephalic trunk, the left common carotid and left subclavian arteries. Any member of the several pairs of arterial channels encircling the embryonic pharynx in the mesenchyme of the brachial arches; there are potentially six pairs, but in mammals the fifth pair is poorly developed or absent. The first and second pairs are functional only in very young embryos; the third pair is involved in the formation of the carotids; the fourth arch on the left is incorporated in the arch of the aorta; the sixth pair forms the proximal part of the pulmonary arteries. A series of arterial channels encircling the embryonic pharynx in the mesenchyme of the branchial arch's. There are potentially six pairs, but in mammals the fifth pair is poorly developed or absent. The first and second pairs are functional only in very young embryos; the third pair is involved in the formation of the carotids; the fourth arch on the left is incorporated in the arch of the aorta; the sixth pair forms the proximal part of the pulmonary arteries. Synonym: arcus aortae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic arch syndrome | <syndrome> Aortic arch syndrome, also referred to by many as vertebral-basilar artery disease, carotid artery occlusive syndrome and subclavian steal syndrome is characterised by a constellation of signs and symptoms which occur secondary to abnormalities in the major arteries which extend off of the aortic arch. These abnormalities are structural and most often secondary to the effects of atherosclerosis, blood clots, trauma or a congenital abnormality. Symptoms of this condition include various neurologic symptoms, reduction in pulse and changes in blood pressure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| aortic arch syndromes | Any of a group of disorders leading to occlusion of the arteries arising from the aortic arch. Such occlusion may be caused by atherosclerosis, arterial embolism, syphilitic or tuberculous arteritis, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aortic area | The region of the chest wall over the second right costal cartilage, where sounds produced at the aortic orifice are often best heard. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic atresia | Congenital absence of the normal valvular orifice into the aorta. (05 Mar 2000) |
