Medical - Medical (general) / transcatheter aortic valv
French term or phrase: dépressible
Context:
'VCI fine et dépressible.'
(ie vascular cognitive impairment is hardly a problem).
I'm not even sure that there is such a word in French. I wondered if anyone who knows about this pathology could suggest what it might mean.

Explanation:
I think the translation depends on context - the ref here

http://www.cfcv.fr/site_des_reperes/RICCO Interruption de la...

states - 'La veine est reconnue à son caractère dépressible sous la pression de la sonde d’échographie et à sa distensibilité lors des manoeuvres de Valsalva et avec la
respiration.'

I would suggest compressible if the vein is being compressed by an external agent - more context needed really

depressible


Explanation:
Are you sure VCI = vascular cognitive impairment? I think that veine cave inférieure would make more sense, given the other parts of the sentence. You can find find several references of veine cave inférieure and dépressible online.

In this case, you can use depressible inferior vena cava.

collapsible


Explanation:
"The Small IVC [<2.5cm , >50% collapse]
A small, highly collapsible IVC is almost always indicative of a hypovolemic state in critically ill patients. Studies have suggested that when there is 50% or more collapse the patient will respond to fluids. These numbers are guidelines and smaller IVCs may be normal in some patients with smaller body habitus."
