#surgical protocol
- Angiotomy — A specialized surgical intervention consisting of the incision, cutting, or operative opening of the wall of a blood vessel (artery or vein). This well-defined structural procedure is utilized as an essential initial step in interventional radiology and vascular surgery to allow the introduction of catheters, the extraction of thrombi (thrombectomy), or the direct exploration of an obstructed circulatory lumen.
- Angiotripsy — A surgical procedure for achieving hemostasis consisting of the forced, mechanical, and well-defined crushing of the walls of a ruptured or severed blood vessel, using an angiotribe. This surgically induced pathological-structural process destroys the vessel's internal tunic (intima) and middle tunic, causing them to retract and promoting rapid blood coagulation inside the compressed lumen, effectively blocking hemorrhage without using suture threads.
