An instrument or agent that breaks down or destructs blood vessels, sometimes used in medical procedures.
Greek 'angeion' (blood vessel) + 'klastes' (breaker, from 'klan' meaning to break). Formed in the medical/surgical context as vessels that naturally break down during healing or atrophy.
Angioclasts are like tiny demolition crews inside your body—they help break down blood vessels during healing or when tissues need to be remodeled, which is actually super important for your body's maintenance!
