Italian term

vaso portante

Italian to English Medical
Here's the sentence:

E' stato effettuato un cateterismo distale della mascellare interna, con posizionamento della punta del microcatetere nel segmento terminale a livello della fossa pterigoidea, e dell'arteria facciale, a valle delle labiali inferiori, per evitare la chiusura dei *vasi portanti* ed il rischio di ischemia locale dei tessuti nonchè la necrosi della mucosa.

Thanks!

major vessel

In my opinion, the meaning of this phrase is that this particular technique has been carried out in order to prevent the possible closure of some major artery.
