Non-Vascular

Non-Vascular

Non-vascular refers to medical conditions or procedures that do not involve blood vessels. In the context of medical specialties, it distinguishes areas like non-vascular surgery or non-vascular interventional radiology from those focused on blood vessels. Non-vascular surgery typically includes procedures on organs or structures other than the circulatory system, while non-vascular interventional radiology may encompass interventions like biopsies, drainage procedures, or catheter placements, excluding those targeting blood vessels. Understanding whether a condition or procedure is vascular or non-vascular is crucial for appropriate medical treatment and specialization.
