Medical: Cardiology / Medical report
Spanish term or phrase: BCAG
I am working on a medical journal article that mentions CABG - Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and BCAG from Colombia. Both are mentioned in one paragraph and I can't find any reference to it online that fits with what I'm reading. It may be medical, or geographical? It doesn't seem to be related to a clinic or seem to be a recognised Spanish acronym.

BCAG - Bovine Carotid Artery Graft


Explanation:
Maybe it refers to this technique. If CABG is mentioned by its English acronym, perhaps the same is true of this term. It is certainly the one I've found the most references to.

CABG


Explanation:
Sin otro contexto, parece un typo por el acrónimo inglés CABG. BCAG podría hacer referencia a una dieta BCAG (dieta baja en carbohidratos y rica (alta) en grasas, pero no sugieres nada que apoye esta posibilidad. Algo de contexto específico donde BCAG aparezca (un par de frases, tal vez) tal vez ayudaría a aclarar.

Cosnautas is the most comprehensive online resource for Spanish medical initialisms / acronyms. In this case, unfortunately, BCA is not found here (which may suggest it's a typo). Just mentioning Cosnautas as a very helpful resource in the future. It's free to use; you just have to register for the site.
