Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hi Owen Just without further research as to the different branches of the A. circumflexa, so more of a wild guess: LV for lateroventral, OR left ventricular (which would make less sense beeing a spanish doc, but I guess in Spanish as in German sometimes English abbreviations could be used?). As you indicate a certain degree of fried brain (which I experience around here too, especially around noon without airconditioning) I thought these wild guesses might be of help. Sorry if not!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Just a thought, could it be (sorry I will have to give it you in Italian) lume vasale? I can see quite a few hits for (vessel) lumen where a stent is mentioned.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hello Owen, Although I'm not a Spanish translator, I speak Spanish and I'm MD;so maybe this could help: 'de ramo LV de la arteria circunfleja' - LV has to be a name of the branch of the circumflex artery (not the lumen of the vessel). Circumflex artery has its ascending and descending branches. Those descending go to the Left Ventricle. I'd suppose LV maybe an abbreviation from EN, although the descending branches have their own names (rami posteriores ventriculi sinistri in Latin). That's the only translation I can think of here. As far as concerning your second question, 'impronta' would mean here the stenosis of the artery because of atherosclerotic plaque. All the best Katarzyna ES>EN Abbreviation LV Hello all Lovely hot weather but I'm afraid my brain's fried - can anyone help me with " LV " in " angioplastia coronaria exitosa con stent (Express 2.5 x 24 mm) al tercio medio y distal de ramo LV de la arteria circunfleja " ?

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Dear Owen: I guess it means " Lateral Ventricular " , but it's just a guess. Let me explain: the " arteria coronaria " has two branches: right and left. And both have several branches. More specifically, the left one has a branch called " rama lateral " (lateral branch), that runs over the ventricle's wall. Probably the author does not call this branch by its anatomical name " rama lateral " , but by another more graphic: " rama lateral ventricular " or " rama LV " .

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Thanks Isabelle, Graham, Katarzyna and Lorenzo for the suggestions for LV. Lumen issues are dealt with elsewhere in the report so I don't think the abbreviation's lumen-related. I wondered liked Isabelle and Katarzyna whether it might be a borrowing from English - left ventricular - but Lorenzo's suggestion is more convincing. Why oh why does someone use an abbreviation for what appears to be a less than standard term without expanding it anywhere? Sadly now that I can enjoy the weather a bit it looks as though it's breaking - when it rains tomorrow I'll be thinking of you, Isabelle!
