During the course of an aortogram, AAA repair and bifurcation graft, he exchanged 0.025 glide wires with 0.035 s/l "Mire" wires, removed the sheath and inserted the bifurcation graft. Mylar maybe (?) but was not able to verify. After deploying the graft, he passed a s/l "AquaTempo" 5-French catheter. I may have a few more of these gems before the report is finished. He is naming every single brand of all the obscure pieces of equipment he can lay his hands on.

sounds like this is some weird wording for microscopic blood.
I've done thousands of endoscopy reports and GI consults, but I can't think why he'd say "affobiddy positive stool" instead of something about occult blood or microscopic blood.
