Pronunciation[edit]
- (Received Pronunciation) enPR: thrŏmbĕn'därtî'rĭĕkʹtəmĭ, IPA(key): /θɹɒmˌbɛndɑːˌtɪəɹɪˈɛktəmɪ/
- Rhymes: -ɛktəmi
Noun[edit]
thrombendarteriectomy (plural thrombendarteriectomies)
- (surgery) An operation to remove a thrombus and any diseased inner lining causing the obstruction of an artery
Usage notes[edit]
- Thrombendarteriectomy combines three prefixes and one suffix. A number of spelling variants which add interfixes at various points are attested; the most extreme is thromboendoarterioectomy. Conversely, a few variants omit the i from the stem of arteri-, perhaps having mistaken it for an unnecessary interfix. Such variants are established (accepted) despite this omission. Finally, several variants dividing thromb-, end-, or both from the rest of the word with hyphens.
