   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_CT_calcium_scan

   A coronary CT calcium scan is a computed tomography (CT) scan of the heart for the assessment of severity of coronary artery disease. Specifically, it looks for calcium deposits in atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries that can narrow arteries and increase the risk of heart attack. [ 1 ]

   Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when veins cannot pump enough blood back to the heart. [16] It results when the vein dilates secondary to a vein wall disease or when normal functioning of the valves, which serve to keep blood flowing to the heart and to prevent reflux, become damaged and/or incompetent (the dilation of a vein will prevent ...

   A coronary CT calcium scan is a computed tomography (CT) scan of the heart for the assessment of severity of coronary artery disease. Specifically, it looks for calcium deposits in the coronary arteries that can narrow arteries and increase the risk of heart attack. [17]

6. Arterial occlusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_occlusion

   Arterial occlusion is a condition involving partial or complete blockage of blood flow through an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to body tissues. [1] [2] An occlusion of arteries disrupts oxygen and blood supply to tissues, leading to ischemia. [1]

7. Femoropopliteal bypass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoropopliteal_bypass

   Smaller arteries carry blood supply from the popliteal artery to the calf and into the foot. [4] Blockages caused by plaque build-up or atherosclerosis in any of these arteries can reduce leg blood circulation, causing leg pain that may interfere with daily life. [4] Standard popliteal bypass surgery involves the bypass of the popliteal artery. [5]

8. Atherosclerosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherosclerosis

   Stroke is caused by marked narrowing or closure of arteries going to the brain; lack of adequate blood supply leads to the death of the cells of the affected tissue. [26] Peripheral arteries, which supply blood to the legs, arms, and pelvis, also experience marked narrowing due to plaque rupture and clots. Symptoms of the narrowing are pain and ...

9. Vessel harvesting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_harvesting

   To create the bypass graft, a surgeon will remove or "harvest" healthy blood vessels from another part of the body, either arteries from an arm or the chest, or veins from a leg. [1] This vessel becomes a graft , with one end attaching to a blood source above and the other end below the blocked area, creating a "conduit" channel or new blood ...
