Liset Nyland (asker) Feb 13, 2012:
Thanks, I'll write that down, on my list to be discussed on my next medical visit..my doctor just gives me an appointment and then we talk translation over a cup of coffee while the waiting room is full of people, I always find this hilarious and terribly embarassing at the same time.
SJLD Feb 13, 2012:
residuo di arteria polmonare media - not convinced this is "middle pulmonary artery" but I have nothing better to suggest. Can't find any refs to this. Most occurrences mean "middle segment of the pulmonary artery".
Liset Nyland (asker) Feb 13, 2012:
Thanks SJLD, that was in fact a very dodgy passage that needed revision, but since you ask the Italian sentence goes: E' presente un residuo di arteria polmonare media che finisce sull'infundibulo destro a fondo cieco.
And no, luckily I "only" have to translate into English this time...
SJLD Feb 13, 2012:
Do you need this for translation into Danish?
SJLD Feb 13, 2012:
remnant rather than residue
middle pulmonary artery??? What did the Italian say?
right infundibulum with no exit - see blind infundibulum or blind infundibular chamber (of the right ventricle)
Liset Nyland (asker) Feb 13, 2012:
More context We talk child surgery for VSD truncus arteriosus type 1 and a total correction with a Contegra conduit.
Truncus type 1: A residue of the middle pulmonary artery is present that ends in the right infundibulum with no exit (in italian: infundibulo destro a fondo cieco).
SJLD Feb 13, 2012:
This sounds to me like a "hole" that has been made in the aorta during the corrective surgery for this congenital malformation (VSD). It is not possible to be sure without seeing more context. Consider "defect in the aorta"

The pulmonary arteries are separated from the aortic trunk, and any defects are patched. Usually, children also have a ventricular septal defect, and that is also

aortic breach

Non credo si tratti di "apertura aortica" (aortic opening), ossia una normale struttura anatomica presente nel cuore. Qui mi pare si tratti proprio di una lesione, di qualcosa da chiudere.

Credo che la soluzione sia questa --> "aortic outflow tract"

Il seguente documento descrive una operazione molto simile, solo che il patch non è autologo (ossia non proviene dal paziente stesso), ma di origine animale:

This report describes the use of a bovine pericardial patch to close the aortic outflow tract in a patient with a mechanical aortic valve and end-stage cardiomyopathy who required urgent left ventricular assist support.

Lo stesso articolo parla anche di "aortic orifice", sempre per descrivere la procedura.
Note from asker:
Qui si tratta della chiusura di un difetto interventricolare.

hi
I don't think it is the valve now, based on your further context. It could well be the aortic trunk
