Subject: EKG: Normal sinus rhythm with sinus arrhythmia, right bundle branch block, (see msg)

and then says CROIMI (spells out).  I'm thinking IMI might be inferior myocardial infarction, but no mention of this prior although does have CAD and is status post CABG.  Don't know what CRO would be, though.  Any suggestions?
in bracket metallic?
Subject: in bracket metallic?

I don't want to sound dumb here, but does "in bracket metallic" mean that the procedure involved some sort of metallic bracket, or am I supposed to type the words using some sort of brackets?  I have never heard of bracket metallic before.  Thanks!


Sentence is:  Past medical history included s/p aortic valve replacement and s/p mitral valve replacement in bracket metallic, on Coumadin.
