Dutch term

Opheldering

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general)
A patient is having a PTCA, during the procedure "iets opheldering in stent". I think this is how the area appears on fluoroscopy. What is the English term please?

Discussion

ebell (asker) Nov 26, 2009:
Radiolucency does seem to fit, as the 'opheldering' in this patient is consistent with a thrombus.
analytical (X) Nov 26, 2009:
Could you please provide the entire Dutch sentence?

Radiolucency

Opheldering to me seems the same as opklaring.

In view of his recent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and symptoms, coronary angiography was performed and showed brisk TIMI 3 flow, but areas of small radiolucencies inside the LAD stent suggestive of small nonocclusive thrombi.
Something went wrong...
