BOLT (???) for pulmonary fibrosis? - ssford


Posted: Sep 22, 2010

I have a dictator that is saying "status post _____ for pulmonary fibrosis" numerous times during this report.  Sounds like she is saying "BOLT"????  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance :)

There is an OP-BOLT procedure and maybe they are shortening it to BOLT which stands for bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation. The OP stands for off-pump. Hope this helps
