AA

English translation: anterior approach (re catheter)

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:AA
English translation:anterior approach (re catheter)
Entered by: Adam Burman

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Cardiology / cardiac cath
Spanish term or phrase: AA
What does the AA mean in "AA: Cat. Diagnóstico, cateterismo radial fracaso, coronarias sanas, sutura arterial con éxito." This is the "Procedimiento" section in a cardiac cath report from hospital in Barcelona.

The catheter would reach, ultimately, the "aorta ascendente (AA)," but I don't think that works. Maybe something to do with "antecedentes" (?) -- see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/316775

Thanks.
