Compression or squeezing of blood vessels, often causing reduced blood flow and potential tissue damage.
From Greek 'angion' (vessel) + 'thlipsis' (pressure, squeezing). This medical term describes mechanical compression of vascular tissue.
Angiothlipsis happens when something pinches your blood vessels—like when you fall asleep with your arm under your head and it goes numb, the pressure squeezing the vessels!
