Subject: cardiac cath - does this make sense?
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.

Subject: Cardiac cath questions, deleted posts? sm
Some posts just got deleted as we were trying to help someone. My answer to her format question was: Some of my docs do dictate each artery's findings separately and I number them along the left under each other. Just use your common sense so you end up with a clear report. Good luck. I remember when I first started doing caths and it wasn't easy.
