The prefix con-, which means âwithâ or âthoroughly,â appears in numerous English vocabulary words, for example: connect, consensus, and conclude. An easy way to remember that the prefix con means âwithâ is through the word connect, or join âwith.â A way to remember that it means âthoroughlyâ is through conclude, or âthoroughlyâ close a matter.
Vascular surgery. Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries, veins and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction.
In this surgery, a healthy blood vessel is used to bypass a narrowed or blocked artery in one of your legs. The healthy blood vessel redirects blood around the artery, improving blood flow to the leg. Carotid endarterectomy, or carotid artery surgery, removes plaque buildup from the carotid arteries in the neck.
