| coronary vessels | The veins and arteries of the heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| posterior coronary plexus | The portion of the cardiac plexus that accompanies branches of the coronary arteries on the posteroinferior surface of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transluminal percutaneous coronary angioplasty | <cardiology, procedure> Dilatation of an occluded coronary artery (or arteries) by means of a balloon catheter to restore myocardial blood supply. (07 Mar 2000) |
| unroofed coronary sinus syndrome | <syndrome> A spectrum of cardiac anomalies in which part or all of the common wall between the coronary sinus and the left atrium is absent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left coronary vein | <anatomy, vein> Begins at the apex of the heart (where it anastomoses with the middle cardiac vein), runs first with the anterior interventricular artery as it ascends the anterior interventricular groove, then turns to the left as it approaches or reaches the coronary groove to run with the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery; it merges with the oblique vein of the left atrium to form the coronary sinus. Synonym: vena cordis magna, left coronary vein, vena cardiaca magna. (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) |
| ampullary aneurysm | A saclike bulging on one side of an artery. Synonym: ampullary aneurysm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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 by anastomosis | A mass of dilated anastomosing vessels that produce a pulsating tumour usually in a superficial position. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| aneurysm, false | An aneurysm in which the entire wall is injured and the blood is contained by the surrounding tissues, with eventual formation of a sac communicating with the artery or heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aneurysm, infected | Aneurysm due to growth of microorganisms in the arterial wall, or infection arising within preexisting arteriosclerotic aneurysms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva | A congenital thin-walled tubular out pouching usually in the right or non-coronary sinus with an entirely intracardiac course that may rupture into the right or rarely the left heart chambers to form an aortocardiac fistula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aneurysm, ruptured | The tearing or herniation of the weakened wall of the aneurysmal sac. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
