| central venous pressure | The venous pressure as measured at the right atrium, done by means of a catheter introduced through the median cubital vein to the superior vena cava, the distal end of the catheter being attached to a manometer. (12 Dec 1998) |

| chronic venous insufficiency | <cardiology> A condition in which the vein do not channel the flow of blood adequately. most often this condition is seen in the veins of the lower extremities. Symptoms include leg swelling, leg pain and muscle cramps. This condition can predispose to venous thrombosis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| plantar venous network | A fine superficial venous network in the sole of the foot. Synonym: rete venosum plantare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sacral venous plexus | A venous plexus on the pelvic surface of the sacrum, formed by tributaries to the lateral sacral veins. Synonym: plexus venosus sacralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prominence of venous valvular sinus | A slight eminence on the external wall of a vein correlating with the valvular sinus immediately proximal to the leaflets of the venous valve. Synonym: agger valvae venae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hepatic venous segments | Each of the four territories of the liver separately drained by the hepatic veins. Synonym: hepatic venous segments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic venous plexus | A venous plexus, arising chiefly from the dorsal vein of the penis, situated below the base of the bladder at the sides of the prostate. See: prostaticovesical plexus. Synonym: plexus venosus prostaticus, plexus pudendalis, Santorini's labyrinth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neonatal pulmonary venous hypertension | <radiology> With cardiomegaly, hypoplastic left heart, critical aortic stenosis, cor triatriatum, pulmonary venous atresia, normal heart size, infradiaphragmatic TAPVR (12 Dec 1998) |
| suboccipital venous plexus | The extensive plexus of veins in the suboccipital region. Synonym: plexus venosus suboccipitalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| systemic venous hypertension | Increased pressure in the veins ultimately leading to the right atrium nearly always due to disease of the right heart but occasionally due to blockade of one or both venae cavae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal venous network of foot | A superficial network of fine veins on the dorsum of the foot. Synonym: rete venosum dorsale pedis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal venous network of hand | A superficial network of veins on the dorsum of the hand emptying into the cephalic and the basilic veins. Synonym: rete venosum dorsale manus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dural venous sinuses | Endothelium-lined venous channels in the dura mater. Synonym: sinus durae matris, cerebral sinuses, cranial sinuses, sinuses of dura mater, venous sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal carotid venous plexus | A venous network around the internal carotid artery in the carotid canal of the temporal bone, connecting with the cavernous sinus and internal jugular vein. Synonym: plexus venosus caroticus internus, internal carotid (nervous) plexus, plexus caroticus internus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total anomalous pulmonary venous return | <radiology> (TAPVR) admixture lesion: cyanosis, increased pulmonary blood flow, must have L to R shunt for survival (e.g., atrial septal defect) associated with, atrial septal defect, asplenia (12 Dec 1998) |
