A medical procedure using electrical current to dissolve or break apart a stenosis (abnormal narrowing) in a body passage.
From electro- + stenosis (narrowing, from Greek stenosis 'narrowing') + -lysis (breakdown or dissolution, from Greek lysis 'loosening'). Medical terminology from 20th-century interventional medicine.
Electrostenolysis is like using controlled electricity to clean out clogged passages in the body—surgeons can dissolve scar tissue or fibrous narrowing without physically cutting, which means less trauma and faster healing.
