micro jet

French to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
This is from a cardiac ultrasound report for a patient who has undergone aortic repair surgery.

"Commentaires:

AORTE: Plastie aortique non sténosante avec micro jet d'IAo résiduelle centrale visible en fenêtre apicale 5cavités

...
OG non dilatée. Micro jet d'IM centrale."

Thanks for any suggestions.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Rachel Fell

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Diagnosis
In terms of the diagnosis of aortic regurgitation a common test for the evaluation of the severity is transthoracic echocardiography, which can provide two-dimensional views of the regurgitant jet, allow measurement of velocity, and estimate jet volume.

jet lesions
Vegetations that develop where a regurgitant ‘jet’ of turbulent blood flow strikes the endocardium, causing fibrosis and roughening, typical of anomalies of blood flow from a high-to-low pressure region—e.g., aortic stenosis or coarctation, mitral stenosis, ventricular septal defect, or patent ductus arteriosus, as occurs in rheumatic fever or congenital heart disease; roughened JLs may give rise to small emboli and produce cerebral thromboembolism.

Cavitation is an event that can lead to MHV failure... Cavitation is the rapid formation of vaporous microbubbles in the fluid due to a local drop of pressure below the vaporization pressure at a given temperature. When conditions for cavitation are present bubbles will form and at the time of pressure recovery they will collapse or implode. This event will cause pressure or thermal shockwaves and fluid microjets which can damage a surface.

The cavitation phenomenon in mechanical heart valves is well documented and has been visualized by stroboscopic photography... The collapse of the cavitation bubbles generates a high-speed micro-jet and shock waves that may damage the valve surface and blood components.
