long-segmental


Explanation:
I would prefer long-segmental. Here the emphasis appears to be more on the length than on the severity of the stenosis.

Extensive IMO relates more to the % occlusion of the vessel.

neutral  Ford Prefect: "teils" long-segmental? I wonder if a better ST reading would be "schwere _bis_ langstreckige" - or if this is one of those instances where the author won't use just one word when three will do :-)
