Status post MVR CABG.
Subject: Status post MVR CABG.

Should there be a comma MVR,CABG. I came across MVR/CABG and am now doubting myself. Thanks for your help.
status post mvr cabg
Subject: status post mvr cabg

hi,
Look what i have come across is that mvr is mitral valve replacement and cabg is coronary artery bypass graft so status post mvr, cabg or mvr and cabg is the proper way i feel. usually putting mvr/cabg means it can be either of the two but here both are different procedures so I guess to be on the safer side i think it should be cabg, mvr or cabg and mvr.
hope that helps.
