French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care | | French term or phrase: bénéficier de | I find this expression several times in a patient's discharge letter that was translated into English ... I was asked to proofread the translation. Normally I don't venture into French->English medical translation, so I'm not familiar with this expression in this context.
It appears several times:
"[patient] ... a été hospitalisé pour un SCA de type STEMI ... ayant bénéficié d'une angioplastie primaire."
"Il a alors bénéficié d'une coronarographie en urgence par voie radiale droite ..."
and later: "Il a bénéficié d'une thrombo-aspiration très productive et la pose d'un stent ... "
and finally: "... le patient a donc bénéficié d'une nouvelle dose de charge de plavix ... "
This can't be 'profited from' or 'benefited from' ... these would be out of place ihere. What is the appropriate translation of this phrase here? ('underwent'? 'had'? 'received'? -- these are my guesses, but I'd like confirmation from people with more experience in this language pair)
Merci d'avance! |
