Angioplasty
I am familiar with the abbreviations used for arteries such as cx for circumflex branch, mg for left internal mammary artery etc, but was surprised to come across the following in an angioplasty procedure report: "Sténose significative CX1, sténose significative CD1, CD2, CD3".
How do we translate these into English? Do we say "Significant stenosis of circumflex 1. Significant stenosis of right coronary artery 1, right coronary artery 2 and right coronary artery 3."? It is not something I have come across before, so your assistance is appreciated!

OK I see what Manu49 means - segments 1, 2 and 3 according to the AHA correspond to the RCA, as my link above indicates. It is a pity he just throws in a translation without giving any explanation.

However, I have a doubt as to whether this classification is used in the UK, and it may be safer to stick with proximal, mid and distal, as in this UK document, see page 22.

| Thanks Liz - this does seem like the most likely answer, but I'll wait to see if anyone else has any firm ideas about the translation into English. |
