help with CABG terminology - momandmore


Posted: Jul 05, 2013

12 years on nephrology and first day on cardiology -- I'm sure this is obvious, but I've googled and cannot find something that works.

Status post multivessel CABG (5 vessel - LIMA to LAD, free RIMA to OM1, sequential SVG to acute marginal and s/l LPLB2, and SVG to diagonal 1 - Dr. Clarence Owen).

 

a little more detail - momandmore

Okay, so I'm sure that the SVG to the acute marginal and LPLB means left posterolateral branch -- but it's the "2" that I cannot put into context now.

left posterolateral branch 2 - i.e., second PLB
