Waters (11) reported this increased energy consumption to be 167 and 129 percent of normal for dysvascular and traumatic BKAs, respectively.
Academic text (1995) -

Etymology
Dysvascular combines the prefix dys- meaning 'bad' or 'abnormal' with vascular, from the same root as the word 'vessel' and meaning 'vessels', the tubes that carry blood. So, dysvascular describes tissue or limbs that have a poor blood supply and may heal slowly.
