Czech term

kordifugální směr

Czech to English Medical Medical (general) Ultrasound
Help please!

Vyšetřena oblast vpichu - stp, kanylaci v. femoralis.
Při dnešní ko je v délce cca 10 mm nápadně zesílená ventrální stěna femoralis susp. s podílem nástěnné trombózy, ale žíla je v tomto úseku zcela volně průchodná.
Lehce zesílená i dorzální stěna v. femoralis.
Volně průchodná je ***žíla i kordifugálním směrem.***

Found http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/pojem/kordifugalni as "směrem od srdce. Opak kordipetální", but no real sign of either term in Czech or English. Pulling my hair out...
Proposed translations (English)
1 +2 cardiofugal

Elizabeth Spacilova Feb 22, 2021:
I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV ... ... but I think that would explain the "i" in the sentence -- žíla je průchodná (that's normal) _i_ kordifugálním směrem (not normal).
I suppose this means there is backflow or reflux, which is a cause of CVI?

Thanks Liz. Not sure whether to add this as a reply or discussion entry. Just struggling to work out though why "žíla" i kordifugálním směrem when arteries are cardiofugal and veins are cardiopetal https://www.brainscape.com/flashcards/115-blood-flow-2462013...

cardiofugal

From Dorland's:

-fugal (suffix) "implying traveling away from, affixed to a stem designating the object from which flight is made, as 'centrifugal,' traveling away from a center, or 'corticifugal,' directed away from the cortex."

Not many google hits but a link to its use in a medical book is below.

Thanks for the confirmation, Jiří!
agree Ivan Šimerka : the hits include "cardiopetal"

But there are so few, hence my very low confidence. Thanks for confirming, Ivan. :)
