Subject: PISA- cardiac procedure
I have a RN who is very unclear in her dictation. It is regarding a patient with Coronary artery disease. She states he had a "pizza" and had a stent placed with percutaneous translution (does she mean transillumination?). Can anyone give me some feedback on these two procedures- the "pizza" and percutaneous translution. Thanks

cardiac procedure
Subject: cardiac procedure
Thanks for the input, y'all. I almost coded, but eventually sent it on. I decided he was trying to say "triquetral isthmus," or so I hope! The only other thing I could get was "electrophysiology & radiofrequency ablation." It didn't sound like any of the others I'd typed in the past, frankly. Sure do appreciate it!
Now I think I need to find someone who can do a quick ECT on me, and I should be fine by the AM...
word help on cardiac procedure, please
Y'all: This one is a blankety, blank, blank report in every way possible (SF, dictator, the whole bit). I would've cut my losses and moved on, but this has been dictated so many times I'm already screwed, so here goes. Procedure: electro_______ & radiofrequency ablation (pt has atrial flutter). This is what is all over the report: ___tr*q*l?_____ isthmus. Those are the main letters I'm picking up. Can't find it anywhere yet.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Gotta get back to this. I'm already down for the count thanks to my selection for the evening.
