French term or phrase: trabeculations infundibulaires
In a surgery report: "Infundibulotomie longitudinale sur 20 mm en longueur en direction de l'anneau pulmonaire [...]Ensuite on découpe quelques trabeculations infundibulaires pour élargir la chambre de chasse." It sounds like bony bits in the muscle tissue of the infundibulum... "infundibulum trabeculae"?? Any informed advice much appreciated.

  -> Thanks Sue. The non-cvt-surgeons can check out the trabeculae of the interior of chicken hearts. ;-)
