I can't find out what this means online and my PCP is away.
I had a transthoracic echo done 21/2 weeks ago and the trech coded the technical limitation part incorrectly. Instead of "prominet lung artifact" blocking the view, she coded it as "technically limited due to breast implanys". I just got the corrected terminology this morning and I'm kinda wiggin' out.
I was in the hospital 4 weeks ago for some sort of "event" that was stroke-like. Been down this road before 9 years ago. I have APLS and Protein C & S Deficiencies, history of stroke/TIA, CFS/Fibro, Cognitive Decline, now an irregular heartbeat, blood in the urine (without infection), etc, etc., etc.
Don't have breast implants, ha ha, or I'd be due a refund from someone.
I will be getting the echo repeated because I'm not sure I can trust these results, but really won't relax until I can define (at least loosely, what this ARTIFACT is.
Please write back if you know anything about this subject.
Thanks.
