Synonym: segmenta renalia, arterial segments of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |

| arterial switch operation | Operation for complete transposition of the great arteries; the most common way to repair this defect consists of switching the aorta and pulmonary arteries and implanting the coronary arteries into the neoaorta (the original pulmonary artery). (05 Mar 2000) |

| arterial thoracic outlet syndrome | <syndrome> A rare disorder due to compression of the subclavian artery (with resultant poststenotic dilation) by a fully formed cervical rib; thrombi form in the dilated distal arterial segment, and distal limb ischemia may occur due to thromboembolic events. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial transfusion | Direct transfusion from an artery of the donor into an artery of the receptor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial vein | <anatomy, vein> So called because it ramifies like an artery (portal vein) or because, while proceeding from the heart like an artery, it contains unoxygenated blood, like a vein (pulmonary artery). Synonym: vena arteriosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial wave | A wave in the jugular phlebogram due to transmission of carotid artery pulsation. B wave, the initial positive deflection in the electroretinogram, possibly arising from the inner nuclear layer of the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterio-arterial fistula | Abnormal communication between two arteries. It may result from injury or occur as a congenital abnormality. (12 Dec 1998) |

| pancreaticoduodenal arterial arcades | Anastomoses between the anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arteries (from the gastroduodenal artery) and the anterior and posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries (from the superior mesenteric artery) on the anterior and posterior aspects of the head of the pancreas and the duodenum, supplying both structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean arterial pressure | <cardiology, physiology> The average value for arterial pressure. Systolic pressure + diastolic pressure divided by 2. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cephalic arterial rami | Parietal branches of the sympathetic trunks conveying postsynaptic sympathetic fibres from the superior cervical ganglion to the carotid arteries for distribution within the head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral arterial circle | The roughly pentagonally shaped circle of vessels on the ventral aspect of the brain in the area of the optic chiasm, hypothalamus, and interpeduncular fossa. See: circle of Willis. (05 Mar 2000) |
