R-Cx sequencial a Dg.

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
This is from the patient's cardiovascular history on a discharge summary.
Digaonal branch of the circumflexus...where does the sequential fit?

Cirugía de revascularización miocárdica con puentes Ma-Da, PVx-Cx, R-Cx sequencial a Dg. En el contexto de internación por sindrome cononaro agudo sin supradesnivel del segmento ST asociado a insuficiencia cardiaca.

Thanks in advance.

I think the only person who can answer this is Rita Tepper:)

It's typed, Liz. Thanks for all your input on this; the abbreviations are not so bad, it's putting them all together correctly that worries me!
liz askew Sep 20, 2010:
that should be "LIMA-LAD"
liz askew Sep 20, 2010:
I think I may have twigged that "Ma-Da" = LIMA to LDA - see

Hi, I am going bog-eyed with this! Are you sure all your abbreviations are correct here? i.e. is this typed/handwritten?

Well,

I am sorry but I am unable to find these abbreviations on any Sp site, all together that is!

Also, I am wondering if there is something missing, all I can find in English is this, but your source does not mention the RIMA

Background
Y- graft (Y-G) is a graft formed by the Left Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA) connected to the Left Anterior Descending Artery (LAD) and by a free Right Internal Mammary Artery (RIMA) connected to LIMA and to a Marginal artery of Left Circumflex Artery (LCx). Aim of the work was to study the flow of this graft during a six months follow-up to assess whether the graft was able to meet the request of all the left coronary circulation, and to assess whether it could be done by evaluation of coronary flow reserve (CFR).
