Vascular Stenosis

A Vascular Stenosis is a vascular pathology that involves vascular stenosis narrowing of vascular stenosis blood vessel lumen causing vascular stenosis flow limitation and vascular stenosis tissue ischemia.

• AKA: Arterial Stenosis, Vessel Narrowing, Vascular Obstruction.
• Context:
  • It can typically reduce Vascular Stenosis Blood Flow through vascular stenosis luminal compromise.
  • It can typically cause Vascular Stenosis Pressure Gradients across vascular stenosis narrowed segments.
  • It can typically result from Vascular Stenosis Pathologic Processes including vascular stenosis atherosclerosis.
  • It can typically produce Vascular Stenosis Clinical Symptoms when vascular stenosis hemodynamically significant.
  • It can typically require Vascular Stenosis Imaging Assessment for vascular stenosis anatomical characterization.
  • ...
  • It can often progress through Vascular Stenosis Disease Stages from vascular stenosis mild narrowing.
  • It can often involve Vascular Stenosis Multiple Locations in vascular stenosis systemic disease.
  • It can often necessitate Vascular Stenosis Intervention when vascular stenosis symptomatic.
  • It can often benefit from Vascular Stenosis Medical Management targeting vascular stenosis risk factors.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Mild Vascular Stenosis to being a Severe Vascular Stenosis, depending on its vascular stenosis percent narrowing.
  • It can range from being a Focal Vascular Stenosis to being a Diffuse Vascular Stenosis, depending on its vascular stenosis lesion length.
  • ...
  • It can be evaluated by Vascular Stenosis Diagnostic Methods including vascular stenosis angiography.
  • It can be treated with Vascular Stenosis Revascularization restoring vascular stenosis blood flow.
  • It can be monitored through Vascular Stenosis Surveillance Protocols tracking vascular stenosis progression.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Coronary Artery Stenosises, such as:
    • Coronary Ostial Stenosis at vascular stenosis vessel origins.
    • Left Main Stenosis affecting vascular stenosis critical location.
    • Chronic Total Occlusion representing vascular stenosis complete blockage.
  • Peripheral Artery Stenosises, such as:
    • Iliac Artery Stenosis causing vascular stenosis claudication.
    • Renal Artery Stenosis producing vascular stenosis hypertension.
    • Subclavian Artery Stenosis creating vascular stenosis steal syndrome.
  • Cerebrovascular Stenosises, such as:
    • Carotid Artery Stenosis risking vascular stenosis stroke.
    • Intracranial Stenosis affecting vascular stenosis brain circulation.
    • Vertebral Artery Stenosis causing vascular stenosis posterior circulation symptoms.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Vascular Aneurysm, which involves vessel dilation rather than vascular stenosis narrowing.
  • Vascular Dissection, which creates vessel wall separation rather than vascular stenosis luminal reduction.
  • Vascular Spasm, which causes temporary constriction rather than vascular stenosis fixed narrowing.
