Cardiac Cath results

• Cardiac Cath results - Grace
  • maybe "is small and nondominant" - nm
  • could it possibly be "innominate" instead of nondominant? - Barb
    • That's what I thought at first, but there is a nondominant. - Grace

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....

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! 

ANA was markedly positive at one to twenty-five sixty

any ideas on this one. 1:25 60

This is a woman with Stage IV malignant mesothelioma.  I'm a little lost on the CT results here.  For part of it I got the words I think, but since I don't totally understand it I'm not sure exactly where commas go, etc.  Then there's the part where I'm not getting the words.  I'll put that part in brackets.  So here goes if anyone can help. 

"On the CT, the impression is chronic occlusion of the central left internal jugular and brachiocephalic (actually sounds more like bronchocephalic but that doesn't seem to be a word so does brachiocephalic make sense here?) right subclavian [vena porous SVC with compression against noticed?] and tracheal deviation."

Doctor is saying, "...central disc herniation at the C3-C4 level impressing the ventral cord and a central disc protrusion at C6-C7, which s/l bifaces the ventral subarachnoid cord."

It sounds like he's saying bifaces.  Could that be correct?  If not, any suggestions?

Wondering how the results below should be transcribed.

Yesterday in the ER he had blood work, which showed normal renal function and electrolytes and an INR of 2.0.  His BMP was beneath the threshold for his age at 1-3-8-8.  (dictated "one, three, eight, eight") 

TIA!!!

Her ionized calcium was 1.10 with ??____________ 1.12 to 1.32.

s/l *acility

This is from someone who mumbles and stumbles over words all the time, so I'm not sure how helpful my sounds likes are going to be, but I'll give it a try.

"Mammograms were performed and compared to previous studies available.  There was no [s/l change breaths or chains breast] or heterogeneous [s/l stem cell?].  There is a rectangular density in the superior portion of the right oblique view, which may represent a residual from a previous [s/l porta or porter] drain."

Would heterogenous stem cell fit there?  I think that's possible she's saying that, but not sure if that would be from a mammogram result.  I haven't heard that one before.

I'm sure I know the word, because it sounds very familiar, but I just can't quite get it.

Dictated:  UA shows some ketones, large occult blood, many white cells, some moderate red cells, and *10 to 50* bacteria.

Should that be 10:50 bacteria or 10-50? 

Thanks!

I can't really understand this one, very fast speaking ESL and any help is greatly appreciated.

S/l *Laboratory results show white blood cell count of *2.1*, hematocrit of 36.2, and *___* at 217. 

Thanks!

Doc is giving foot x-ray results as follows.

IMPRESSION:  Oblique fracture, which is postoperative at the level of the first metatarsal.  S/L "Os-like" displacement at the fracture site is noted.

Anyone ever hear of something like that?  Thanks

when referring to culture results - is the lower or upper case form of "pseudomonas" "lactobacillus" and "enterococcus" used?

Chinese ESL dictator:  His UA was negative.  His whipose DNA not detected. 

Patient has severe fatigue with unknown etiology; other labs are cortisol, double-stranded DNA, ACTH....

Help?!?!?

Is uncompelling a word?

Or is it noncompelling?

Thanks!

Please help

1. Heart Murmur.  1A Echocardiography documenting ___________, sounds like he is saying edicstenosis.

CT reveals a spiculated lobulater right upper lobe pulmonary nodule.  There is no significant adenopathy noted.  Significant emphysematous change with bi-apical _____ bullous seen.  S/l globes or gloves but doc is soft spoken so cannot hear clearly.
