#vein patch

• Arterioplasty — A surgical procedure for the reconstruction, repair, or plastic remodeling of the wall of an artery that is damaged, narrowed, or affected by an aneurysm or trauma. This vascular surgical intervention may involve using a synthetic patch (such as Dacron or PTFE) or an autologous patch (a vein segment harvested from the patient) to widen the vascular lumen, restore normal blood flow, and prevent downstream tissue ischemia.
