tends to form a sharp angle and to position itself against the... Explanation: I agree with golub. The verb "to plicate" doesn't seem to exist in lexicons or dictionaries. "Plicaturer" is often used in FR to describe catheter troubleshooting. Not so in English. DEFINITION -- see the 2 following semantic components of the word, for example: The FOLDING of an organ, as a section of the intestine, and the ATTACHING of it to another organ or tissue. This is probably a case of OCCLUDED CATHETER, which refers to the Catheter [being] clamped, kinked, curled, clotted or positioned against the wall of the vessel. TERMIUM, GDT, Internet |

coarctate ??? Explanation: Don't know if this is any help, but Eurodicautom gives "aortic pseudo-coarctation" for "aorte plicaturée" "coarctate" as an adjective is defined in the online "Dictionary of Difficult Words" as closely pressed together, with "coarctation" being a constriction.

I like 'wedged' best Explanation: The latin root word gives it's meaning here (plicatio, as my colleague writes). French for fold=pli....seems related. The GDT does not give it as a verb but their listing makes it plain that bending and/or folding is involved. The reason for my choice is that the catheter gets stuck. GDT and experience |
