| heart bypass, left | Diversion of the flow of blood from the pulmonary veins directly to the aorta, avoiding the left atrium and the left ventricle. This is a temporary procedure usually performed to assist other surgical procedures. (12 Dec 1998) |

| heart bypass, right | Diversion of the flow of blood from the entrance to the right atrium directly to the pulmonary arteries, avoiding the right atrium and right ventricle. This a permanent procedure often performed to bypass a congenitally deformed right atrium or right ventricle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| septic bursitis. Bypass | An operation in which the surgeon creates a new pathway for the movement of substances in the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| jejunoileal bypass | A surgical procedure consisting of the anastomosis of the proximal part of the jejunum to the distal portion of the ileum, so as to bypass the nutrient-absorptive segment of the small intestine, to treat morbid obesity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| extra-anatomic bypass | A vascular bypass that does not conform to the preexisting anatomy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extracranial-intracranial bypass | A vascular shunt created by the anastomosis of an extracranial vessel to an intracranial vessel, usually, the superficial temporal artery to a cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femoropopliteal bypass | A vascular prosthesis that bypasses an obstruction in the femoral artery; may be synthetic material, autologous tissue, or heterologous tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left heart bypass | Any procedure that shunts blood returning from the pulmonary circulation to the systemic circulation without passing through the left heart. This is utilised during some cardiac surgery and experimentally during severe left heart failure or cardiogenic shock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aberrant obturator artery | See: pubic branch of inferior epigastric artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory obturator artery | <anatomy, artery> Term applied to the anastomosis of pubic branch of the inferior epigastric artery with the pubic branch of the obturator artery when it contributes a significant supply through the obturator canal. Synonym: arteria obturatoria accessoria, ramus obturatorius arteriae epigastricae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcus tendineus of obturator fascia | <anatomy> A thickened portion of the obturator fascia that extends in an arching line from the pubis posteriorly to the ischial spine and gives origin to part of the levator ani muscle. Synonym: arcus tendineus musculi levatoris ani, arcus tendineus of obturator fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bursa of obturator internus | The large, constant bursa between the obturator internus tendon and the lesser sciatic notch. Synonym: bursa ischiadica musculi obturatoris interni. The bursa between the tendon of the obturator internus muscle and the capsule of the hip joint. Synonym: bursa subtendinea musculi obturatoris interni. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus obturator externus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lower half of margin of obturator foramen and adjacent part of external surface of obturator membrane; insertion, trochanteric fossa of greater trochanter; action, rotates thigh laterally; nerve supply, obturator. Synonym: musculus obturator externus, external obturator muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus obturator internus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, pelvic surface of obturator membrane and margin of obturator foramen; insertion, passes out of pelvis through lesser sciatic foramen, in so doing, making a 90 |
| posterior branch of obturator artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch of obturator artery giving rise to acetabular branch and supplying muscles attached to ischium. Synonym: ramus posterior arteriae obturatoriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
