Arterionecrosis is the medical term meaning tissue death of an artery or arteries. In a related term, angionecrosis is death of blood or lymph vessel tissue.
Not to be confused with Infraction. Infarction is tissue death (necrosis) caused by a reduction / stoppage in blood flow due to artery blockages, mechanical compression, rupture, or vasoconstriction. There may be ischemia, a slowing of blood flow, or hemorrhage, a rupture of an artery causing bleeding. The resulting lesion is referred to as an infarct (from the Latin infarctus, stuffed into). Myocardial infarction is the partial death of heart tissue commonly known as heart attack.
