Medical - Medical: Cardiology / patient report | | French term or phrase: grosse postéro-latérale/Crux | Happy new year everyone!
I'm not too sure how to translate "grosse postéro-latérale/Crux" in this context:
"La patiente fut ramenée rapidement en hémodynamie où on documente maintenant une sub-occlusion voire une occlusion d’une grosse postéro-latérale/Crux."
Does it mean a large posterolateral portion/ portion of the crux? |
