French term

PIVA

French to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
Another question from an operative report for an aortic valve replacement and coronary bypass surgery. I know what IVA is, but I'm confused about PIVA:
On abord le réseau IVA. On ne peut pas se mettre au déla du dernier stent sur PIVA car il faudrait quasiment ponter la pointe. On va aborder PIVA au niveau de sa partie moyenne.
What obvious word am I missing here???
Proposed translations (English)
4 Pontage artere interventriculaire antérieure
4 proximal LAD

Laura Miller (asker) Jun 24, 2008:
I think Liz is on to something with "pontage"; it makes more sense given that the abbreviation would fit the French. Thanks to both of you for all of your help!
Laura Miller (asker) Jun 24, 2008:
I thought about that too transdoctor, that maybe it was a typo, but it is used twice.
transdoctor (X) Jun 24, 2008:
Laura, another thought - could the P be in fact the letter L followed by an apostrophe?

Hi

I have found

Posterior Intraventricular Artery
if you are looking for ENGLISH abbreviations:

Posterior Interventricular Artery (PIVA).

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I'm still not sure that this is what was meant, but it's a good guess. I have no way of checking with the doctor who wrote this, so I used your answer, and then made a note to the client (an insurance company). Thanks for your help!"

proximal LAD

p for proximale?

It could also be the posterior interventricular artery.

However PIVA is not commonly used for this artery, even in English.

I'm convinced now that the only thing that makes sense is that PIVA is in fact "l'IVA" - unless the procedure actually involves putting a stent in a bypass graft.
Note from asker:
That's what I thought too! It's the only thing that I could find that made sense.
You may be right about "P" actually being an "L", but I am unable to check with the document's author and I had to deliver the translation. So, I used Liz's solution, and just made a note to the client (insurance agency) that PIVA isn't a standard abbreviation, and that it may even be a typo. I figured that that was the best way to handle it. Thanks for all of our help!
I meant to say thanks for all of "your" help!
Peer comment(s):

neutral liz askew : I see, but then how does that fit in if the Abbreviation is French - and they do like to use their own, where possible :-)//Hmm I am sceptical as the French are Sooo precise in their language.
