Devaskularisaation

Devaskularisaation is a medical term referring to the process of removing blood vessels from a specific area or tissue. This procedure can be performed for various reasons, often to manage conditions where abnormal or excessive blood vessel growth is problematic. In some contexts, it might be employed to starve a tumor of its blood supply, thereby inhibiting its growth. This is a strategy used in certain cancer treatments.

Another application of devaskularisaation can be in managing chronic pain conditions, particularly those related to inflammation or abnormal vascularization in joints. By reducing the blood supply to the affected area, the inflammatory process can be lessened, leading to pain relief. The techniques used for devaskularisaation vary depending on the location and the specific medical condition being treated. These can include surgical methods, radiological interventions like embolization, or pharmacological approaches that target blood vessel formation. The goal is always to achieve a therapeutic outcome while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. It is a specialized medical intervention performed by trained professionals.
