French term

franchissement vs insertion

French to English Medical Medical: Cardiology PTCA
In the context of a PTCA there are two headings in the surgical report:

Franchissement de la valve aortique

AND

Insertion de la valve aortique

The first bullet under 'Franchissement...' is:
- Franchissement relativement simple de la valve aortique à l'aide d'une sonde AL1 et d'un guide droit.

... and under the 'Insertion...' heading:

- Alignement de la prothèse EDWARDS SAPIEN S3 de 26 mm dans l'aorte abdominal.

I thought 'franchissement' was insertion in this context but it seems not...

Can anyone help me understand the difference please?

Thanks! :)

Does... 'franchissement' mean the act of moving the prosthetic valve through the artery and 'insertion' mean actually putting the prosthetic valve in place?
