Angiorrhaphy
Definition
An emergency or specialized surgical intervention consisting of the suturing, sewing, or structural repair of a breach, rupture, or section in the wall of a blood vessel (artery or vein). This well-defined operative procedure is widely used in traumatology to halt massive hemorrhages caused by wounds or severe injuries, or during vascular reconstructions after tumor resections, aiming to maintain lumen integrity and restore circulatory flow.
