Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this (and yes Joseph, I'm finally getting round to changing it!). I decided not to over translate/translate what wasn't there and translated it as they were talking about the introducer, which I think they were, despite it being written in the "condizione finale" which as Judy said, doesn't make much sense

JudyC Sep 9, 2021:

I agree that it's badly written as they're giving an action instead of a state to describe a "condizione finale"

Joseph Tein Sep 9, 2021:

Another perspective Ciao Emily! (I notice the new last name).

I think that they're trying to say two things in one hurried sentence ... badly written as Fiona said.

They're talking about what they ended up doing with the two introducers in the femoral and radial arteries. Possibly they're trying to say that they removed them ... and then did the hemostasis using the Angioseal and the TR Band. So they really meant "rimosso [emostasi] con Angioseal

So I would agree with your suggestion above.

Emily Gilby (asker) Sep 9, 2021:

It's definitely a possibility Judy, I am leaning more that way, otherwise surely it would just say "TR Band rimosso" if it meant that the device was removed?

JudyC Sep 9, 2021:

I think "rimosso" refers to the introducer so " removed with....."

Emily Gilby (asker) Sep 9, 2021:

Thanks Liz, it’s more the “rimosso” bit that’s confusing me - what is being removed with the AngioSeal? I’m thinking that it means “closed” in this context but need confirmation
