cardiac cath - does this make sense?
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.

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!

Balloon up
Subject: Balloon up
Hello,
Hope everyone is staying warm today! I am looking for help with the term "balloon up." I have searched but have been unable to find if this is the correct term or not.
The Dr. says "he had attempted to remove his Foley catheter at home with a balloon up and with result to worsening of his bleeding".
I am 100% sure that is what he says. I am trying to find the definition or see if it needs to be hyphenated. Thanks for any help. Stay warm.

Subject: Could it possibly be THE balloon up? sm
A Foley has a tip on it that can be inflated to hold it in place. And if the patient tried to remove Foley without deflating the balloon, bleeding is definitely a possibility. Hope this helps.
