Explanation

"No bruits" is a term used in medicine to indicate that there are no unusual sounds heard when listening to blood flow in certain areas of the body, such as the heart or blood vessels. These sounds can be heard using a stethoscope and can sometimes suggest problems like blockages or abnormal blood flow. If a doctor says "no bruits," it means they didn't hear any of these abnormal sounds, which is a good sign. It suggests that blood is flowing normally in the area they checked.
