She is dictating: A #4.0 Judkins left catheter was now advanced through the right femoral artery sheath. This was advanced through the ostium of the left coronary artery. Shouldnt this be left? ...
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)? ...
Hello, hoping someone can help. Perclose s/l ?otomy closure device? Anyone have any ideas? This is for a cardiac cath also ?tic aortic valve stenois? thanks!!! ...
Has anyone ever heard the initials PNK or TNK for cath procedure. Patient having multiple procedures done and all I know is that it is a thrombolytic agent. I have looked up both in the abbreviation site and find nothing for TNK (which sounds more like it), but PNK??? Any thoughts or ideas, some med I would assume but I have stumped on this one.
Thanks ...

The sentence goes like....that showed about an 80% mid circumflex, a very high ramus S/L SAROAM? with a 90% blockage, a 90% mid LAD and a totally occluded right coronary that fills from left to right. Thanks :) Deb ...
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.
JR4 guiding catheter with side hole was used to selectively engage the right coronary artery. Short sport wire was advanced all the way to the distal vessel. After that, we placed 2.75 x 30-mm Resolute drug-eluting stent
We used a 3.75 EBU guiding catheter selectively engaged left main and the same sport wire was advanced ...

Is it CHAD score - or CHADS score?
On search I find CHAD, CHADS, and CHADS2.
He is not saying a "2" at all, and with him saying "score" right after "chad," I don't know if there should be an 's' on CHAD or not.
The dictated sentence is: He does have a recent diagnosis of lone atrial fibrillation with a low CHAD score.
Thanks for any help. ...
This is a Sistrunk procedure: excision of thyroglossal duct cyst. SOUNDS LIKE "skin righted"

Extremely strong Israeli accent performing cervical ESI using some type of solution for sterile prep and drape that sounds like chlorograt. Any suggestions?? Am drawing a complete blank. ...
Could use some help with this one. This is for a cysto with ureteroscopy and stone basketing.
"The groin was prepped and draped in ___ sterile fashion." It sounds like urgent, but that doesn't make sense. Doesn't sound like 'usual' or 'normal'.
Any ideas?
Thanks. ...
I was told by a friend of a friend who works in a hospital that they now must use sterile pens each time they chart. The pens come wrapped in sterile paper and must be used only once. I guess these pens are purchased at an exorbitant rate by the hospital "suits." Somehow they all figure out a way to scratch each other's backs. They screw us out of money, and if that isn't bad enough, they exploit us in this country and then try to do the same to the Indians.&nbs ...
In the general portion of the physical exam the blank sounds like visily.
