Aortogram help, please

[Guest guest]

In the paragraph that follows, I *cannot* get the " sounds like. " Ithe

seems to me to sound MOST like cooly cutted, but clearly coated and some

other possibilities have entered my mind, too -- none of which seem to

me to make any sense whatsoever.

An aortogram was done demonstrating mild to moderate perivalvular leak.

The aortic valve prosthesis was not crossed, since it is a _________ s/l

" cooly cutted " valve, and consequently a left ventricular angiogram was

not done.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks a million, Quixote. I've got that book on order (I JUST started doing

cardiology) but it's not here yet. It would have earned its money if I'd had

it, since I've spent at least a half-hour trying to hunt this down.

Thanks again.
