intravascular
Within blood vessels
Intravascular means within blood vessels—arteries, veins, and capillaries.
The term appears in medical contexts describing fluids, devices, or procedures inside the vascular system: intravascular fluid volume, intravascular ultrasound.
An intravascular catheter is inserted into a blood vessel.
