Medical Definition of Coronary arteries Coronary arteries: The vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood rich in oxygen. They are called the coronary arteries because they encircle the heart in the manner of a crown. The word coronary comes from the Latin corona and Greek koron meaning crown. Like other arteries, the coronaries may be subject to arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). There are a number of coronary arteries.

Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease is the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, usually caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis (sometimes called hardening or clogging of the arteries) is the buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits (called plaques) on the inner walls of the arteries.

Coronary Artery Disease Coronary Artery Disease. 1  A gradual narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart that impedes blood flow and eventually starves the organ of oxygen and vital nutrients that it needs to survive (i.e., ischemia) Generally due to a buildup of atherosclerotic plaques in the arterial walls.

Central Retinal Vein Occlusion Central retinal vein occlusion is a blockage of the small blood vessels that carry blood away from the retina, located in the back of the eye. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to various body parts.Veins return oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. The retina has one major artery and one major vein.he vein is called the central retinal vein. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a blockage of this vein that causes the vein to leak blood and excess fluid into the retina. This fluid often collects in the area of the retina responsible for central vision called the macula.

Coronary Artery Spasm Definition. Coronary artery spasm is a temporary, sudden narrowing of one of the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart). The spasm slows or stops blood flow through the artery and starves part of the heart of oxygen-rich blood.ocaine use and cigarette smoking can cause severe spasms of the arteries, and can cause the heart to work harder. In many people, coronary artery spasm may occur without any other heart risk factors (such as smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol).

Coronary arteries the occlusion, or closing off, of a coronary artery. The occlusion may result from formation of a clot (thrombosis). Narrowing of the lumen of the blood vessels by the plaques of atherosclerosis, as occurs in humans, does not occur in animals.

Occlusion: What is occlusion? Centric Occlusion (CO) can be described as the occlusion the patient makes when they fit their teeth together in maximum intercuspation. Common synonyms for this are Intercuspation Position (ICP), Bite of Convenience or Habitual Bite.

Retinal Vessel Occlusion The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that is responsible for vision. Blood circulation to most of the retina's surface is primarily through one artery and one vein. If either blood vessel or one of their smaller branches is blocked, blood circulation to the retina can be significantly disrupted. The blockage is called an occlusion.

Central Retinal Vein Occlusion Neovascularization Neovascularization is the development of tiny, abnormal, leaky blood vessels inside the eye. These vessels are primarily a problem dealt with by those who have the more severe form of central retinal vein occlusion.

Coronary Angiography Coronary angiography is a procedure that uses contrast dye, usually containing iodine, and x ray pictures to detect blockages in the coronary arteries that are caused by plaque buildup. Blockages prevent your heart from getting oxygen and important nutrients.

Coronary Artery Chronic Total Occlusion Coronary artery chronic total occlusion. Coronary artery chronic total occlusion (CTO) is complete or almost complete blockage of a coronary artery for 30 or more days. Coronary CTO is caused by a heavy build-up of atherosclerotic plaque within the artery.

Conditions We Treat: Coronary Artery Disease (Ischemic Heart Disease) Coronary artery disease is a blockage or narrowing (stenosis) of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, often due to a buildup of fatty plaque inside the arteries. A severe enough blockage may cause a heart attack. If not quickly treated, the blockage can cause parts of the heart muscle to die.

Overview Coronary bypass surgery. Coronary bypass surgery is a procedure that restores blood flow to your heart muscle by diverting the flow of blood around a section of a blocked artery in your heart. Coronary bypass surgery is a surgical procedure that diverts the flow of blood around a section of a blocked or partially blocked artery in your heart. By creating a new pathway to the heart, coronary bypass surgery improves blood flow to your heart muscle.
