Thanks Anne, I am not a physician and wanted to make sure :)

Never say never, but medically speaking, there is no good reason to mention ruled-out infection in the sequence between positive stress test and beneficial angioplasty if you ask me. On the other hand, stating a positive stress test in a patient or situation not suitable for bypass surgery who (therefore) underwent angioplasty rather than surgery, makes medical sense.

Thanks Anne and Bohy! I saw that "contage" could mean "infection" and was wondering if "récusé au contage" could be "infection was ruled out" in this situation.

Thanks for your assistance! I was looking for "récusé" which did not give me any hits. You are probably right that there is a typo from the author. Will put a translator note.

agree same conclusion about récusé at https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/récusé-médical.32346... – and, yes, my first suspicion also was a typo for "pontage"

récusé au pontage ? récusé = contre-indication médicale, je crois.
