ventagning

Swedish to English Medical Medical (general) patient notes
English, please.

Could anyone confirm that this is known as 'vein sampling' in (UK) English, which I've found on Google, or is there another way of saying it?
TIA,
Helen

saphenous vein graft harvesting Från ansvarig forskare på Örebro universitet: "saphenous vein graft harvesting (during coronary arterial surgery)".

Kanske i vissa sammanhang förkortat "vein graft harvesting".
Sven Petersson Aug 8, 2005:
My guess "female" was based on that one normally prefers to use mammillary arteries for coronary grafting in male patients.
Non-ProZ.com Aug 8, 2005:
This is in connection with heart failure and previous cardiac infarct. Sentence in case it makes a difference: S�r fot efter ventagning tv� g�nger tidigare. No idea whether it's a male or female patient because the text is in the third person or uses 'pat.' throughout, and no name is visible.

venous sampling

That would be an alternative. See also GE's medcyclopaedia below.

Good luck.

Terrific. Thanks, Blangsted.
neutral Sven Petersson : Blangsted's reference only proves that there is something called "venous sampling", not that it is "ventagning"! I don't state that you are wrong, but I am very doubtful. Please see my answer! - Answer: Yes, I do.
