Medical - Medical (general) / check up report
French term or phrase: la voie fémorale est normalement perméable et compressible.
It is a patient check up report. It is a patient who suffered from deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, this describes the findings of a Doppler ultrasound.
The sentence reads: La voie fémorale est norlmalement permeable et compressible.
I found femoral canal for voie fémorale (but i am not 100% certain it is correct) however how can I translate permeable et compressible?
Thanks

Reference information:
not sure enough to post an answer (and haven't got time this evening to check refs), but voie femoral =femoral vein, permeable = patent (i.e. no obstruction) and compressible = compressible. http://www.ultrasound-images.com/vascular.htm
