CTA of the abdomen help, please
Subject: CTA of the abdomen help, please

Patient has a stenotic superior mesenteric artery.  Doctor is giving the findings of the CTA and says, with no pauses:  "She has findings suggestive of progression of a high-grade approximately 80-90% stenosis of the proximal 1 cm of the SMA cascade collaterals."  I cannot find "SMA cascade collaterals".  Should there be anything between SMA and cascade collaterals like a comma or something.  (Doc always uses fragments, not complete sentences, so it's not easy to separate things)  Anyone heard of this?  Thanks very much!

I transcribe every so often for a visiting doctor and when he does the abdominal exam he always says, "abdomen is soft, non-tender, no masses(?) but he's putting a "megaly" at the end of it.


I've googled all possible words and have come up with nothing. I know mastomegaly is enlargement of the breasts but would he say that for an abdomen exam, on a man?
