| internal mammary-coronary artery anastomosis | Direct myocardial revascularization in which the internal mammary artery is anastomosed to the right coronary artery, circumflex artery, or anterior descending coronary artery.

| isoperistaltic anastomosis | An anastomosis allowing flow of contents in the same and normal direction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| termino-terminal anastomosis | An operation by which the central end of an artery is connected with the peripheral end of the corresponding vein, and the peripheral end of the artery with the central end of the vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elliptical anastomosis | A modification of direct anastomosis whereby one or both tubular structures are spatulated beforehand, thus creating an ellipse of greater cross-sectional as well as circumferential dimension than would be possible with a bevelled or circular anastomosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transureteroureteral anastomosis | Anastomosis of the transsected end of one ureter into the intact contralateral ureter, by direct or elliptical end-to-side technique. See: ureteroureterostomy. Synonym: transureteroureteral anastomosis. Acronym: TUU (05 Mar 2000) |
| Jacobson's anastomosis | A portion of the tympanic plexus. (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) |

| aneurysm | <anatomy, surgery> A sac formed by the dilatation of the wall of an artery, a vein or the heart. The physical signs of arterial aneurysm are the formation of a pulsating tumour and often a bruit (aneurysmal bruit) heard over the swelling. Sometimes there are symptoms from pressure on contiguous parts. Origin: Gr. Aneurysma = a widening (18 Nov 1997) |
| aneurysm, dissecting | Splitting or dissection of an arterial wall by blood entering through an intimal tear or by interstitial haemorrhage. It is most common in the aorta. (12 Dec 1998) |
