I am new MT (sort of). I am doing a cardiac cath from an ESL with marbles in his mouth. This is a false positive stress test, and I am going nuts with one phrase. It is:
"The left anterior descending artery was large, 5 mm in diameter. (s/l tran sif ico) was mildly tortuous but no focal lesions."
I googled the phrase and found it, and was led to this site, but it is not here. Anybody have a clue on the (s/l trans sif ico)? ...

In a cath report, is it support wire or sport wire? With Google, it seems like it should be support wire, but it sure sounds like he (ESL) says sport wire.

We used a 3.75 EBU guiding catheter selectively engaged left main and the same sport wire was advanced ...

Hi,
Has there ever been a determination made as to the correct use of Perma-Cath versus PermCath? Both are on Tessier's Surgical Word Book. When to use which? ...
Weird - I typed Perm-A-Cath both in the title and body of the report; however, the spell check only caught the one in the body, and insisted I change it to PermCath.....
Maybe my spell check won't catch caps....
Anyone?
PS - I'm going to change it in the title just to cover myself....thanks! ...
