Cardiology term help please - FL_MT

Posted: Oct 23, 2012

Hi everyone - I have looked everywhere and can't find a definite answer to this question.

In the discharge dx section, the Dr. dictates "Coronary artery disease, status post left circumflex RT stent."

What exactly does RT stand for? "Radiotherapy" is coming up quite a bit when I search but so are other terms. Thanks in advance :)

artery? - nm

I would go with the artery suggestion, left circumflex artery stent - maybe just hearing RT (artery) sm

my abbreviation book shows RT = right but since is talking about the LEFT circumflex (RT = right) would not make sense here, but hearing artery as RT I can see that.

it is artery - NM
