distal lesion Explanation: This concerns angiographic findings for the femoropopliteal axis (femoral and popliteal arteries) and the fibular and posterior tibial arteries. No lesions were found in the femoropopliteal axis: 'goede femoropopliteale as' met een distaliteit over de fibularis en tibialis -- with a distal lesion in the fibular and posterior tibial arteries 'distaliteit' --> doctor's lingo ... een goede femoropopliteale as met een distaliteit over de fibularis en tibialis posterior. ... patent femoropopliteal axis with a distal lesion in the fibular and posterior tibial arteries. See D-box Diagnostic angiography demonstrated a patent femoropopliteal axis and single-vessel outflow (fibular artery). Collateral filling of the distal anterior tibial artery and the plantar artery was seen (Figure 3A through 3C). A small proximal stump of the anterior tibial artery was present. http://evtoday.com/2015/05/use-of-collaterals-for-retrograde... |

| met een distaliteit over extending distally over Explanation: If it were my translation, I would have more text in front of me. This is a best guess answer: The femoropopliteal axis is a section of the circulatory system of the lower half of the body. See the sketch here: http://tinyurl.com/jj3ht9r The posterior fibularis and tibialis are muscles in the foot. See the sketch here: https://www.dartmouth.edu/~humananatomy/figures/chapter_17/1... The text speaks of a good femoropopliteal axis and so there is no reason to suspect they are talking about a lesion of any kind (which in this case would be an aneurysm). I think it is just simply describing the relative positions of the muscles and the blood vessels in the part of the body being examined and in English, I think we would say "extending distally over". But this is not a question in cardiology - more in orthopaedic or trauma surgery. Nonetheless, my best guess is the one I have supplied. If possible, check it with an expert. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days17 hrs (2016-10-25 20:08:48 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- The text you have supplied does not in any way indicate the presence of a lesion. As I said, if it was my translation, I would have had a lot more text in front of me. I trust the text you are looking at supports your choice but you would be wise to check this very carefully with the client. To swear up and down that this is about cardiology when it isn't is dangerous. A good translator admits if something is outside of his or her expertise and recommends getting a truly expert opinion if uncertain in any way. People's lives are at stake here. This is not a game about winning points. |

| Reference: Distal/distality Reference information: Distal: The more (or most) distant of two (or more) things. For example, the distal end of the femur (the thigh bone) is the end down by the knee; the end more distant from the torso.
