Aufladen

German to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Cardiovascular diseases
This is taken from a report on a cardiac catheterisation with valve clipping. I'm not sure what Aufladen means in this context:

Aufladen des anterioren und septalen leaflets relative zentral und im ersten Greifversuch stabile Xt-TriClip-Lage.

Grasping

Grasping of the anterior and septal leaflets...

The reference below is a step-by-step description of the MitraClip procedure which uses a similar technique. The main points also apply to TriClip placement.

The MitraClip procedure is divided into the following steps: 1) Transseptal puncture; 2) Advancement of the steerable guide catheter into the left atrium; 3) Advancement of the clip delivery system into the left atrium and positioning of the MitraClip below the mitral valve leaflets; and ,4) Grasping of the leaflets, assessment of the result and clip release.

Thank you, uyuni.
agree Anne Schulz : I believe that in your reference text, "Aufladen" corresponds more to "positioning below the valve leaflets" than "grasping".

Thank you, Anne. Yes, positioning followed by grasping (ersten Greifversuch) does make sense.
