Subject: Some help--sm

I'm not sure about the specific words that you wanted help with, but there are some other things that you should change. Sorry the changes are in caps because I couldn't figure out how to bold them or change color. (I'm not trying to yell at you...LOL).

There was proximal severe hazing 95% stenosis in the LAD which was treated successfully with Taxus drug-ELUTING stent 3.0 by 16 mm which was post dilated with 3.5 mm noncompliant balloon. The patient had 2nd DINA vessel which was jailed by the stent but this was a very small CALIBER size vessel. There is also small CALIBER size vessel of the right posterolateral vessel with some moderate disease which we will continue to treat with medical therapy.
