French term or phrase: belle artère
This is an operative report for aortic valve replacement surgery, and I may be overthinking it:
Sternotomie médiane. Prélèvement de la mammaire gauche qui est une belle artère.

I'm not quite sure what is meant by "belle artère", and when I've Googled it, I get a lot of information about how beautiful the Champs Elysées is....

healthy artery
Explanation:
I found the phrase used in the article cited below, therefore it would seem to fit (reasoning that one artery may become 'too healthy' if another is blocked) that this is a sample being taken from a healthy artery for the purposes of comparison. I'd wait for confirmation before using this, but hopefully it's of some use as you have more context available to you.
