Revascularization
Revascularization ( Latin re "again" and vasculum "small vessel" , also revascularization ) describes the restoration of the blood flow in a tissue or an improvement in the blood flow.
This can be a physiological process, for example the re-sprouting of capillaries into an infarct area , or an interventional one . The latter case occurs, among other things, after an angioplasty on narrowed vessels, a bypass operation or surgical measures to improve blood circulation, such as the Pridie drilling in the articular cartilage.
If a closed vessel is caused by thrombolysis or z. B. Thrombendarterectomy again (partially) continuous, one speaks of recanalization or recanalization .
