transverse vs. traverse - pk


Posted: Jan 22, 2010

ESL, of course.  Here's what he's doing:

1.  Right lower extremity selective angiogram via left common femoral artery access.
2.  Attempted " transversion or traversion " of the right peroneal and the right anterior tibial artery occlusion.
3.  Left common femoral artery StarClose deployment.

Is he transversing the artery or traversing the artery?  TIA!

Actually I would say traversing. Is traversion a word? - Olive

Traverse: To travel across, over, or through.

traversion...sm - flybye

he is attempting to traverse (go through) an occlusion in an artery; sounds like perhaps it was not successful (meaning the artery was too blocked to allow passage of his instrument/s)

I think "traversing" see the website below - MTtoday

and find the following sentence:

support catheters were used to traverse the occlusion
