Dutch term

LIMA niet vermeld stond

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general)
"CAG via arteria radialis rechts daar LIMA niet vermeld stond"
A sentence from a report about a patient who suffered occlusion of a bypass.
I'm not sure about 'vermeld stond', which I would usually have understood as given, stated, specified etc.
Any suggestions on translations in this context would be much appreciated!

in this sentence 'daar' means: as / because / since; maybe that helps

LIMA not specified

I.e. the CAG was carried out via the right radial artery as the LIMA (more usually LITA) had not been specified (to be used):

e.g.

"Typically, the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) (previously referred to as left internal mammary artery or LIMA) and right internal thoracic artery are used for bypass. If additional bypasses are required the great saphenous vein from the leg or the radial artery from the forearm are frequently used."
