When an artery is described as patent, it means that the artery is open and unobstructed, allowing blood to flow freely through it. This condition is crucial for proper circulation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. A patent artery indicates that there are no significant blockages or narrowing that could impede blood flow.
