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.

Surgical question.
Subject: Surgical question.

Okay here are the procedures...


1.  Repair of FDP tendon.


2.  Repair of one fascicle laceration of the ulnar digital nerve.


3.  Repair of pulley tendon.


4.  Radial digital neurolysis (indicated given the ulnar digital nerve partial laceration.)


5.  Repair of A4 pulley.


I am then hearing in the narrative summary:


The tendon was repaired with a modified Kessler suture.  This was somewhat compromised by the skiving cut angled distally with minimal tendon at the insertion for the repair.  However, adequate tissue was apparently purchased.


Purchased is the word I am questioning??
