Surgical compression or pressure applied to blood vessels to control bleeding or achieve hemostasis during medical procedures.
From Greek 'angion' (vessel) + Latin 'pressura' (pressure). This practical surgical term describes the straightforward technique of pressing on vessels to stop hemorrhage.
Before modern technology, angiopressure was literally a surgeon's best friend—just applying the right amount of pressure with a finger or instrument could mean the difference between a successful surgery and a patient bleeding out.
