stent
A tube that is meshlike or slotted and used to prevent vessel obstruction is known as a stent. Stents are commonly used in medical procedures to keep blood vessels open, particularly in the treatment of conditions like atherosclerosis. They provide structural support to the vessel walls, allowing for improved blood flow and reducing the risk of complications.
a vessel that is open or clear of obstruction
These sounds are called bruit and are listened to using a stethoscope. Bruit indicates partial arterial obstruction.
Yes
Wind could knock you over or blow your vessel into a submerged (unseen) obstruction.
lmyphedema
The process you are referring to is called hemostasis. This involves the tightening of the fibrin clot to seal the damaged vessel and prevent excessive bleeding.
A blood vessel that forms a new pathway to bypass a blocked or damaged vessel is called a collateral circulation, or collateral blood flow. This natural process helps ensure adequate blood supply to tissues in the presence of arterial obstruction.
The act of stuffing or filling; an overloading and obstruction of any organ or vessel of the body; constipation.
The vessel required to take early and substantial action to avoid a collision is called the "give-way vessel." This vessel must yield the right of way to another vessel, which is referred to as the "stand-on vessel." The give-way vessel must take appropriate measures, such as changing course or speed, to prevent a collision. This concept is fundamental in maritime navigation rules to ensure safety at sea.
A single-masted sailing vessel is called a 'sloop-rigged' vessel.
A cardiac embolism is when there is an obstruction of a cardiac vessel. The obstruction can be made up of several different things including fatty plaque or blood clots. Embolisms frequently begin as a thrombus (a moving clot/obstruction) somewhere else in the body, then move through the blood stream and get stuck in the heart because the vessels are so small.
