Posterolateral ramus (PLR) Explanation: Definition of the coronary tree segments RCA branches: 1 RCA proximal 2 RCA mid 3 RCA distal 4 Posterior descending artery 16 Posterolateral branch from RCA 16a Posterolateral branch from RCA 16b Posterolateral branch from RCA 16c Posterolateral branch from RCA See this very useful link when you need to do translations for PCI procedures: http://tinyurl.com/mnt2fba Possibly they refer to the Posterior Lateral Branch They may have used 'Ramus' rather than Branch. Posterolateral Ramus - PLR rewiring the PLR can you use this? >**Aorta-D-PLCX-PLR**. It remains a bit unclear whether 'D' stands for 'descendens' or 'diagonal'; PLCX= posterolateral (of) circumflex branch; PLR is probably Posterolateral ramus http://tinyurl.com/mr3fstk |
