GlossaryRevascularization

process of restoring blood flow to tissues or organs

Revascularization is a medical procedure aimed at restoring blood flow to tissues or organs that have had their blood supply reduced or blocked. This can involve surgical techniques like bypass surgery or non-surgical methods such as angioplasty, where a balloon is used to open up blocked blood vessels. For professionals, it is crucial in treating conditions like heart disease or peripheral artery disease, ensuring that affected tissues receive adequate oxygen and nutrients.
