insignificant stenosis Explanation: I never came across this abbreviation, while I have translated hundreds of these reports. However, everything is possible. w.o. - weinig occlusie = all that makes sense to me in this context I would place the comma behind 'w.o.': RCA (dominant) w.o., in the PL 70% LMCA w.o. RCA (dominant) insignificant stenosis, 70% stenosis of the PL LMCA insignificant stenosis Please note: The RCA is divided into segments: proximal RCA mid RCA distal RCA branches: - posterior descending artery - posterior lateral branch This means, it not strange, and not unusual in fact, to mention the RCA and posterolateral branch separately: RCA insignificant stenosis, 70% stenosis of the PL branch |
