| angioneurotic oedema, hereditary | A genetic form of angioedema. (Angioedema is also referred to as Quinke's disease.) Persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called C1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema. Patients can develop recurrent attacks of swollen tissues, pain in the abdomen, and swelling of the voice box (larynx) which can compromise breathing. The diagnosis is suspected with a history of recurrent angioedema. It is confirmed by finding abnormally low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor in the blood. Treatment options include antihistamines and male steroids (androgens) that can also prevent the recurrent attacks. Also called hereditary angioedema. (12 Dec 1998) |

| angiopathic haemolytic anaemia | A rare postpartum anaemia of unknown aetiology with uraemia and nephrosclerosis; may be a rare complication following use of contraceptive steroids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiopathic neurasthenia | Angioparalytic neurasthenia, a form of mild neurasthenia in which the chief complaint is of a universal throbbing or sense of pulsation throughout the body. Synonym: pulsating neurasthenia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiopathy | <cardiology> Disease of the blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries) that occurs when someone has diabetes for a long time. There are two types of angiopathy: macroangiopathy and microangiopathy. In macroangiopathy, fat and blood clots build up in the large blood vessels, stick to the vessel walls, and block the flow of blood. In microangiopathy, the walls of the smaller blood vessels become so thick and weak that they bleed, leak protein, and slow the flow of blood through the body. Then the cells, for example: the ones in the centre of the eye, do not get enough blood and may be damaged. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (12 Nov 1997) |
| angiophacomatosis | The angiomatous phacomatoses: von Hippel-Lindau's disease and the Sturge-Weber syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioplany | Synonym: angiectopia. Origin: angio-+ G. Plane, a wandering (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioplasty | <cardiology, surgery> The surgical repair of a blood vessel. A balloon angioplasty is a noninvasive procedure where a balloon-tipped catheter is introduced into a diseased blood vessel. As the balloon is inflated, the vessel opens further allowing for improved flow of blood. (12 Nov 1997) |
| angioplasty balloon | A balloon near the tip of an angiographic catheter, designed to distend narrowed vessels. See: balloon-tip catheter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiopoiesis | Formation of blood or lymphatic vessels. Synonym: vasifaction, vasoformation. Origin: angio-+ G. Poiesis, making (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiopoietic | Relating to angiopoiesis. Synonym: vasifactive, vasofactive, vasoformative. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiorrhaphy | Suture repair of any vessel, especially of a blood vessel. Origin: angio-+ G. Rhaphe, a seam (05 Mar 2000) |
