Arteriotripsy
Definition
An archaic or emergency surgical procedure consisting of the controlled crushing or pressing of the ruptured or severed end of an artery using a special instrument (arteriotrite), aimed at crushing the inner and middle tunics to trigger rapid local thrombosis and achieve hemostasis. In modern medicine, this invasive mechanical technique has been completely replaced by advanced vascular suturing, electrosurgical electrocoagulation, or high-precision metallic hemostatic clipping.
