vasa subclavia
Czech to English
Medical
Medical (general)
Anatomy, Internal medicine
In Czech medical report, MDCT of the thorax and abdominal cavity:
Subject of sentence is the tumor:
Mediálně de dostává k odstupu levé vasa subclavia.
I would like help on what "vasa" here means in English. I am not sure of the Czech nominative since this appears to be in the genitive case. (not sure how that works with mix of Czech and Latin).
I think this means "vessel" but does it mean vein or artery? Or is it unclear.
Thanks,
Stephen

For Radek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subclavian_vein or http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vena_subclavia. In Latin, "vasa" = "artery", "vena" = "vein"

subclavian vessels
the latin term vasa referes to vessels (vein and artery). It is not just the artery.
