A medical condition involving abnormal narrowing of blood vessels, often restricting blood flow to organs or tissues.
From Greek 'angion' (vessel) + 'stenosis' (narrowing). This compound term developed in clinical medicine to describe the pathological narrowing of vascular passages.
Angiostenosis is why doctors sometimes need to use balloon angioplasty or stents—it's when blood vessels become dangerously narrow and restrict the flow of life-giving blood!
