Hebrew to English translations [PRO]
Medical: Cardiology / catheterization
Hebrew term or phrase: צנתור ראשוני
In a catheterization report, it says that a patient, after suffering MI symptoms a month after he had a catheterization and stent implanted, underwent צנתור ראשוני after being admitted. Should this phrase be translated something like "initial catheterization" or does the term ראשוני imply urgency or immediate preventative treatment (as in עזרה ראשונה)?
