APTC laria

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology coronary angioplasty
Hi all,

This is from the cardiologist's report for an elderly patient with ST elevation myocardial infarction, low LVEF, LV and LA akinesis. APTC / ACTP = Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty.

APTC [a.k.a. ACTP]:
Se realizo APTC **** laria **** con implante de stent Promus 2.5-24 mm a 16 atm a olcusión aguda proximal de descendente anterior dirigido hacia rama diagonal.

"laria" appears a few times throughout the report so it doesn't seem to be a typo. Any ideas?
TIA.

Yep, you've both nailed it in a few minutes... definitely primary, I did think it looked like a 1 rather than an L or I in one or two instances.
Thanks to both of you.
Charles Davis Apr 3, 2019:
Could it possibly be 1aria (with a figure 1 instead of a letter l), meaning "primaria", just as 1ª means primera? It would be non-standard and I can't find examples, but maybe...

"primaria"?
