May-Thurner Syndrome
|
D062108 |
[A compression of ILIAC VEIN that results in a decreased flow in the vein and in the left LOWER EXTREMITY due to a vascular malformation. It may result in left leg EDEMA, pain, iliofemoral DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS and POSTTHROMBOTIC SYNDROME. Compression of the left common ILIAC VEIN by the right common ILIAC ARTERY against the underlying fifth LUMBAR VERTEBRA is the typical underlying malformation.

Maze Procedure
|
D000079042 |
[A surgical treatment in which heart tissue is scarred (cut-and-sew method), excised or otherwise destroyed in an open chest approach to direct electrical signals through a more controlled path via the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE. It is often used to restore normal rhythms in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION.

Mazindol
|
D008454 |
