  2. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

    A blowoff valve (also called dump valve or compressor bypass valve) is a pressure release system present in most petrol turbocharged engines. Blowoff valves are used to reduce pressure in the intake system as the throttle is closed, thus preventing compressor surge .

  3. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    An internal wastegate is a built-in bypass valve and passage within the turbocharger housing which allows excess exhaust pressure to bypass the turbine into the downstream exhaust. Control of the internal wastegate valve by a pressure signal from the intake manifold is identical to that of an external wastegate.

  4. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

    Coronary artery bypass surgery during mobilization (freeing) of the right coronary artery from its surrounding adipose tissue (yellow). The tube visible at the bottom is the aortic cannula , which returns blood from the heart–lung machine .

  5. Bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass

    Bypass capacitor, used to bypass a power supply or other high impedance component; Bypass ratio in turbofan aircraft engines Bypass duct, whose size controls the bypass ratio; Bypass switch, access port for an in-line active security appliance; Bypass (telecommunications) Bypass valve A blowoff valve on a compressor

  6. Vascular bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bypass

    In the legs, bypass grafting is used to treat peripheral vascular disease, acute limb ischemia, aneurysms and trauma.While there are many anatomical arrangements for vascular bypass grafts in the lower extremities depending on the location of the disease, the principle is the same: to restore blood flow to an area without normal flow.

  7. Cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_surgery

    Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons.It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary artery bypass grafting); to correct congenital heart disease; or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, [1] and ...

  8. Valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve

    These water valves are operated by rotary handles. A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed as a separate category. In ...

  9. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_cardiac...

    Minimally invasive cardiac surgery, encompasses various aspects of cardiac surgical procedures (aortic valve replacement, mitral valve repair, coronary artery bypass surgery, ascending aorta or aortic root surgery) that can be performed with minimally invasive approach either via mini-thoracotomy or mini-sternotomy.
