BCAG

español al inglés Otros Medicina: Cardiología Medical report
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.
Proposed translations (inglés)

3 BCAG - Bovine Carotid Artery Graft

Discussion

Chema Nieto Castañón Nov 7, 2020:
"Sometidos/llevados a BCAG" apunta claramente a un procedimiento. Si el texto está hablando de bypass coronarios y utiliza explícitamente el acrónimo inglés CABG, casi confirmas que se trata efectivamente de un typo (BCAG vs CABG) y no de un procedimiento diferenciado.
Dominique Anderson (asker) Nov 7, 2020:
Not sure how much I can post, but this is all from the one paragraph... "...si la mortalidad de sujetos sometidos a BCAG es más elevada que la reportada en otros continentes… Teniendo en cuenta que la CABG continúa siendo una mejor opción … riesgo de mortalidad hospitalaria en pacientes llevados a BCAG."
Joseph Tein Nov 6, 2020:
context Agree with Chema. More context is always useful; in this case (and in most cases) it would help tremendously to see the complete sentence -- in Spanish -- where this BCAG initialism appears, not just the term itself and the English discussion. When we see specifically, in context, what they're takling about then we can make a more educated guess about what's intended.
Dominique Anderson (asker) Nov 6, 2020:
Unfortunately it is... One of the sentences does refer to "...el periodo posquirurigico del bypass cardiopulmonar..." (Sorry, English keyboard.) I feel like it's the Spanish version of the acronym/phrase and that they reverted to the English version for most of the document... It hasn't gone into materials used yet (and I'm not sure it will given the hypothesis of the study).

Is BCAG mentioned more than once? If not, I would think it is a typo.

BCAG - Bovine Carotid Artery Graft

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

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

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.
