French term

SEEC, SEEc, S.E.C

French to English Medical Medical: Cardiology abbreviations
3 different abbreviations, I THINK for the same thing. But what the heck is it?
Context is non-invasive cardiac surgery. Here are some sentences.

Depart extubé avec la S.E.C cousue a la peau.
SEEc en place et fonctionnelle
SEEC a 70 au retour
Ablation de SEEC ce jour: compressif femoral en place
Est a J1 de l'ablation de la SEEC par voie femorale.

If nobody knows the English, I'll give points for telling me what the abbreviation stands for in French (if it is French).
Proposed translations (English)
4 -1 sonde d'entraînement électrosystolique (endocavitary) probe for electro-systolic stimulation
4 +1 temporary (transient) pacemaker - stimulating catheter
3 -1 Size Exclusion ElectroChromatography

rkillings Apr 27, 2013:
not "non-invasive" Very clear from the first line of context you quote that this part is at best "minimally invasive".

The French acronym is the right one. Temporary (cardiac) pacing catheter may be a better wording in English as indicated tardively below.
Note from asker:
That seems to nail the French, at least, and fits with the extra context I added in a note to abe(L)solano
Peer comment(s):
neutral Claire Knell : Would 'temporary pacing electrode catheter' not be better - less of a literal translation?
128 days
Probably Claire.
disagree Chris B. Teszler, MD, PhD, FIFAO : Don't cite French authors (= all but authoritative sources of English med.terminology, especially when transliterating like here). Correct: temporary (cardiac) pacing: 1.wire (or lead, or electrode), or 2.catheter; the wire and catheter are not the same!
172 days
I will definitely cite French authors when they are correct. They often know better than non medical native speakers.

Size Exclusion ElectroChromatography

I am afraid you are facing a common trouble..Most of the time in scientific text the acronym(abbreviation) is in source language( which a 100% is English) I have search several pages either in French or English with the information you ve supplied ....Please do visit both English and French link and find out what will be helpul according to your context

No answer in the following french links

Peer comment(s):
disagree Chris B. Teszler, MD, PhD, FIFAO : The two cited alternative expansions of the asked acronyms would be welcome elsewhere, but have nothing to do with the context of cardiac electrophysiology (i.e., temporary cardiac pacing, in particular) that was clearly stated by the original asker.

I think the "right" term is temporary peacemaker catheter since it implies that is a stimulating device, and of course, its placed via the femoral vein.

I don´t know if it's correctly a "transient pacemaker" in English

It could be simply "sonde extra-cardiaque"
Example sentence:

Principe : c'est un pace maker provisoire ; la sonde est cousue à la peau (sous AL
