| vascular surgery | A branch of medicine dealing with the use of surgery to diagnose/treat diseases of the blood vessels. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| vascular surgical procedures | Operative procedures for the treatment of vascular disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vascular system | The cardiovascular and lymphatic system's collectively. Synonym: circulatory system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vascular tunic of eye | The vascular, pigmentary, or middle coat of the eye, comprising the choroid, ciliary body, and iris. Synonym: tunica vasculosa bulbi, Haller's tunica vasculosa, tunica vasculosa oculi, uvea, uveal tract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vascular zone | An area in the external acoustic meatus where a number of minute blood vessels enter from the mastoid bone. Synonym: spongy spot, zona vasculosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resistance, vascular | The opposition to the flow of blood across a vascular bed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesenteric vascular occlusion | Obstruction of the flow in the mesenteric circulation by atherosclerosis, emboli or thrombi, stenosis, trauma, and compression or intrinsic pressure from adjacent tumours. Rare causes are drugs, intestinal parasites, and vascular immunoinflammatory diseases such as periarteritis nodosa and thromboangiitis obliterans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peripheral vascular disease | A term used to describe progressive occlusive disease of the arteries that supply the extremities. Risk factors include atherosclerosis and diabetes. (27 Sep 1997) |
| peripheral vascular diseases | General or unspecified diseases of the blood vessels outside the heart. It is for diseases of the peripheral as opposed to the cardiac circulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| choroidal vascular atrophy | Atrophy affecting either all choroidal vessels or only the choriocapillaris, occurring either diffusely or confined to the posterior pole of the eye. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collagen-vascular diseases | A group of generalised disease's affecting connective tissue and frequently characterised by fibrinoid necrosis or vasculitis; in some collagen disease's, auto-immunization, particularly antinuclear antibodies, has been shown and circulating immune complexes are found. The term is not entirely acceptable because there is no evidence that collagen is primarily involved; "collagen" was once synonymous with "connective tissue" rather than describing a specific fibrinous protein in that tissue. See: connective-tissue diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscle, smooth, vascular | The nonstriated, involuntary muscle tissue of blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Haller's vascular tissue | <anatomy> The outer portion of the choroid of the eye containing the largest blood vessels. Synonym: lamina vasculosa choroideae, Haller's vascular tissue, uvaeformis, vascular layer of choroid coat of eye, vascular layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| skin diseases, vascular | Skin diseases affecting or involving the cutaneous blood vessels and generally manifested as inflammation, swelling, erythema, or necrosis in the affected area. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, vascular tissue | Neoplasms composed of vascular tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
