Vaskuläre

Vaskuläre is the attributive form of the German adjective vaskulär, meaning related to blood vessels or the vascular system. It is used before feminine or plural nouns to describe structures, processes, or conditions associated with the vasculature. In medical and biomedical writings, phrases such as vaskuläre Strukturen, vaskuläre Erkrankungen or vaskuläre Versorgung are common examples of its usage.

The term derives from the Latin vasculum or vas, meaning vessel, and it has become a standard descriptor in German for topics involving the network of vessels that transport blood or other fluids. While vascular terminology often favors the noun Gefäß (for vessel) or Gefäßsystem, vaskulär remains a widely understood and accepted descriptor in anatomy, physiology, radiology, and related fields.

In practice, vaskuläre is used to denote anything pertaining to the vasculature, including anatomical anatomy (vaskuläre Strukturen), physiology (vaskuläre Durchblutung), and pathology (vaskuläre Erkrankungen such as atherosclerosis or aneurysms). It is also encountered in terms describing dysfunction or remodeling of vessels (vaskuläre Dysfunktion, vaskuläres Remodeling). When referring specifically to the medical specialty focused on vessels, the more common German term is Gefäßchirurgie, though vaskuläre descriptors appear across medical literature.

In English, the equivalent term is vascular. The German form vaskuläre thus functions as the language-specific adjective for topics related to blood vessels and their clinical relevance.
