German term or phrase: pass. SM
The term "pass. SM" appears in the following sentence in a patient history and referring to a rotablation procedure.

Intubation der LKA mit einem Führungskatheter, pass. SM über femoralen Zugang.


I assume "pass." is short for passieren/Passage (although not 100% sure), but I've definitely come unstuck with "SM" and would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

"Pacemakers can be temporary or permanent. Temporary pacemakers are used to treat short-term heart problems, such as a slow heartbeat that's caused by a heart attack, heart surgery, or an overdose of medicine.

Temporary pacemakers also are used during emergencies. They might be used until your doctor can implant a permanent pacemaker or until a temporary condition goes away. If you have a temporary pacemaker, you'll stay in a hospital as long as the device is in place."
