Cardiovascular System
Taking over a portion of a physiological function by extracorporeal means
Altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part
Expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part — The orifice can be a natural orifice or an artificially created orifice. Accomplished by stretching a tubular body part using intraluminal pressure or by cutting part of the orifice or wall of the tubular body part
Taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part — The solid matter may be an abnormal byproduct of a biological function or a foreign body; it may be imbedded in a body part or in the lumen of a tubular body part. The solid matter may or may not have been previously broken into pieces
Putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part
Visually and/or manually exploring a body part
Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part
Partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part
Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part
