👉 Thoracostei is a word used in medical terminology to describe an abnormal condition where there is a blockage or obstruction of the duct leading from the lungs to the heart. This can be caused by various factors such as infection, injury, or inflammation, and it can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, and weight loss. Treatment for thoracostei typically involves surgery to clear the blockage or reconstructing the lung tissue to allow for normal breathing.
