| MIDCAB | minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass [surgery] |
| SCABG | single coronary artery bypass |
| TCABG | triple coronary artery bypass graft |

| 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 aneurysm | Aneurysm of a coronary vessel. A coronary artery aneurysm is rarely congenital; it is usually due to atherosclerosis, inflammatory processes, or a coronary fistula. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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 artery | <anatomy, artery> See: right coronary artery, left coronary artery. Synonym: left gastric artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary artery aneurysm | This refers to a dilation and weakness in the wall of a coronary artery. May occur as a consequence of Kawasaki disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| 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 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) |
