Stichk.

English translation: Application of a Collagen-based Vascular Closure Device (VCD)

16:19 Mar 11, 2008
German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Angiography
German term or phrase: Stichk.
Comes under a list of procedures performed.
Other exams = PTCA, stent implantation, etc...
Then we end with Verschluss, Stichk.m.Kollegen

Text is quite hard to read, so also possible it says Stichk.m.Kollagen

Ring any bells?

Explanation:
Many medical manufacturers offer collagen-based VCDs, this article is about VasoSeal (tm); a very popular similar product is AngioSeal tm (St Jude). It seems like this is movement in the right direction...

Thank you. In fact, both you and Anne were equally helpful, but "vascular closure" sounds good to me.

Thank you. In fact, both you and Anne were equally helpful, but "vascular closure" sounds good to me.

agree  Anne Schulz: You do have a point here as it seems that "vascular closure" is even more common than "puncture closure" in the clinical jargon.
