A surgical technique in which an artery is turned or redirected, often to change blood flow direction or route blood to a different location.
From 'arterio-' (artery) combined with '-version' from Latin 'versio' (turning). This technical surgical term combines Greek and Latin roots to describe the action of redirecting arterial blood flow.
Arterioversion is vascular surgery's version of traffic redirection—surgeons essentially reroute your blood supply to bypass damaged sections or create new pathways, a technique crucial in dialysis and transplant surgery.
