During the course of an aortogram, AAA repair and bifurcation graft, he exchanged 0.025 glide wires with 0.035 s/l "Mire" wires, removed the sheath and inserted the bifurcation graft. Mylar maybe (?) but was not able to verify. After deploying the graft, he passed a s/l "AquaTempo" 5-French catheter. I may have a few more of these gems before the report is finished. He is naming every single brand of all the obscure pieces of equipment he can lay his hands on.

spinal stenosis
Subject: spinal stenosis

Spinal stenosis is ONLY of the spine and is not found in other parts of the body. I do ortho and the previous poster is incorrect. That's why it's called 'spinal' meaning of the spine. Stenosis can occur in other parts, but spinal stenosis is only of the spine.
