"Mini-crash technique" Cardiac Cath related

Anyone ever heard of mini-crash technique? This is a heavily accented dictator who is speaking through a mouth full of marbles.

Here's a running start:  "Then 3 x 30 mm stent was positioned in the PDA using a 'mini-crash' technique."

Thx!

born with _______  double-outlet right ventricle

Sounds like SBN. 

Thanks.

The patient has undergone cardiac catheterization, which revealed multi-vessel disease. She has a totally __________ s/l pitted RCA, which is well collateralized from the left ____ s/l systa. 

shows an essentially patent stent in the RCA, patent s/l brightness??? intermedious??? but with persistent restenosis.

doc is racing through this so i might be off on the pronunciation a bit as everything is slurred.  this is listed under primary procedure...

Left heart catheterization s/l cudding boo-d to the LAD and a Taxus into the LAD.

Dictator says, "We then advanced a 3-French pigtail catheter into the ascending aorta over a 0.018-inch TERUMA wire." 

Any ideas on what the "teruma" wire is.  I'm guessing it's a surgical brand, but I can't find anything close. 

Help Please!

There was proximal severe hazing 95% stenosis in the LAD which was treated successfully with Taxus drug-eluding stent 3.0 by 16 mm which was post dilated with 3.5 mm noncompliant balloon. The patient had 2nd DINA vessel which was jailed by the stent but this was a very small caliper size vessel. There is also small caliper size vessel of the right posterolateral vessel with some moderate disease which we will continue to treat with medical therapy.

A 6 French sheath was percutaneously placed into the right femoral artery using the modified Seldinger technique and after S/L PELVICATION,  20 cc of 1% lidocaine solution for local anesthesia, 2 mg of Versed and 50 mg of fentanyl were administered intravenous prior to the procedure for sedation and pain control. 

Help please....

Vasectomy:

The tissue over the vas was incised using "knife technique or lyse technique."

the dictation is The nucleus was then emulsified with a divide-and-conquer technique. My search mainly comes up with divide-and-conquer but I came across a website with medical phrases and it said dividing-conquer. Now I am totally confused.

the dictation for a lens implant surgery is The nucleus was then emulsified with a divide-and-conquer technique. My search mainly comes up with divide-and-conquer but I came across a website with medical phrases and it said dividing-conquer. Now I am totally confused.

Stumped on a word - here is the sentence.

We discussed again the options of observation versus full open repair versus remote Referral Center for off-label investigational branch vessels _____ versus thoracoabdominal aortic paving with branch vessel reconstruction. 

This is something like femcraft, themcraft.  I have tried to google this but cannot come up with anything.

The difference in the modulus of elasticity between the metal and the bone can definitely lead to some  s/l furching and mild discomfort.  It has to do with a recent hip replacement.  Any ideas?

she is oxygen dependent on 3 liters with a convention.  I have tried lots of words, condension, contention, etc. and nothing seems to relate. 

Thanks for the help!

Can't find what ICA stands for other than internal carotid artery.  TIA!!!

...2 interrupted sutures of 4-0 "P3" - never heard of that - pretty clear.
