What am I missing here? This is in relation to an arm and knee. It sounds like open reduction entrophic station but that does not make sense. Normally it is ORIF. So I am assuming I am mis-heaing internal fixation not entrophic station?

They can see portions of the chest because they start the exam in the lower chest. If the patient had breast cancer, the doctor might mention the axillae.

CTA of the abdomen help, please
Subject: CTA of the abdomen help, please
Patient has a stenotic superior mesenteric artery. Doctor is giving the findings of the CTA and says, with no pauses: "She has findings suggestive of progression of a high-grade approximately 80-90% stenosis of the proximal 1 cm of the SMA cascade collaterals." I cannot find "SMA cascade collaterals". Should there be anything between SMA and cascade collaterals like a comma or something. (Doc always uses fragments, not complete sentences, so it's not easy to separate things) Anyone heard of this? Thanks very much!
