Angiorrhaphy is surgical suture of a vessel. Angi/o means blood vessel and rrhaphy is suturing. The junction in between two sutured blood vessels is called an anastamosis. Angioplasty is any surgical repair of a blood vessel.
Cardiorrhaphy is surgical suture of the wall of the heart. Endocardial myorrhaphy (endo-meaning within,-cardi-meaning heart, -al, meaning pertaining to, -myo-meaning muscle, and -rrhaphy, meaning to suture).
angioplasty- angi/o means vessel and -plasty means surgical repair or angiorrhaphy.
There are different types of repair and the medical terminology will depend upon the procedure carried out. In general - plasty is the term used for repair like profundoplasty. Stenosis of the artery can be treated by dilating the vessel - Angioplasty. Endarterectomy is used for open repair of a blocked artery and repair may require a patch graft. A bypass procedure is carried out if the block cannot be repaired by angioplasty or endarterectomy. Stents may also be used like endovascular repair of Aortic Aneurysm (EVAR), or an open repair is done doing using a graft.
