French term

collateralités

French to English Medical Medical: Cardiology patient records
Hi
This term appears in a table from a cardiac patient report. Under the heading it says "absentes". The other headings are "siege lesion", "severite", "aspect" and "lit d'aval".
I'm guessing this means comorbidities but I can't back that up in my research. Can anybody confirm that translation please? Thank you.

I don't know how you researched this term, but this is one of the first hits I get with google:

Collatéralité :
Le rétrécissement ou l'oblitération d'une ou plusieurs artères alimentant un territoire ( pied, jambe ou bras par exemple) va susciter le développement d'autres voies (artères de petit calibre, artérioles) contournant la lésion. Ces nouvelles "routes secondaires" tendent à se substituer aux artères défaillantes. Ils peut s'agir d'artérioles antérieurement présentes dont le calibre s'accroît, voire parfois de nouveaux petits vaisseaux

collateral vessel remodelling

"The study, conducted in animal models, suggests that nitric oxide not only is critical in maintaining the number of collateral vessels while individuals are healthy. It also is key in the amount of collateral vessel remodelling that occurs when obstructive disease strikes"
