Patient underwent PTA stent to subclavian artery. Dictator says:
5 into 20 balloon angioplasties twice resulted in excellent angiographic results.
5/20? 5 into 20? Five into 20 (since he begins the sentence with a number)?
I can't find this and I am helping out on an unfamiliar account so I have never heard this before.

PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Cystoscopy, bilateral retrograde pyelograms, bilateral ureteral stent changes with 6 x 24 ureteral tents
We initially turned attention to the right stent and this was grabbed with the graspers and removed without any difficulty. We then were able to place a ___(s/l pollek, or pollock)_______ catheter without difficulty into the right ureter, up to the right renal pelvis. Contrast was injected in a gentle manner and this showed a severely blunted calices and collecting of the dye without subsequent efflux.

I have an ESL doing an OB/GYN procedure (a hysteroscopy, to be more specific) and she inserts a catheter into the bladder to drain it. I think she's saying red_____catheter, and the first thing that comes to my mind is 'red Robinson' or maybe even 'red rubber.' I looked at the last report that I left this blank in, and the QA put in red Robinul catheter. I do not believe there is such a thing. Maybe she just attempted to use one of her shortcuts, and the wrong one filled in without her realizing it, or she was sleep typing. Who knows! Robinul is a med, and there is no such catheter, is there? I sure can't document one in my reference books or with Google searches.

Subject: name of catheter
I agree, I've heard red rubber catheter many times too. I was just going back and listening to the blanks to see if I could figure any of them out on a second pass, and it definitely does sound like Robinul or a word ending in that type of sound, but she's getting a blank from me on this one. Maybe a different QA will proof it, and I can see what it really should be.
Thank you all!

as in abbreviated port-a-cath?? Not sure on that one. Then--"catheter was sutured using a Witzel tunnel suture to prevent rotation or volvulus" (twisting of the bowel). Would make sense with Witzer tunnel procedure and if the cath site is in the abdomen (especially for chemotherapy).
