recobrir um aneurisma


Explanation:
A Figura 1 é uma vista em elevação lateral do stent da presente invenção aplicado na aorta de um doente para recobrir um aneurisma.

Recordo também já ter visto usar, com o mesmo significado, a expressão «cofrar um aneurisma», embora me pareça ir longe demais na assimilação do cateterismo vascular à construção civil.
Claro que para o Brasil, doente poderá ser substituído por paciente.
