on my list to be discussed on my next medical visit..my doctor just gives me an appointment and then we talk translation over a cup of coffee while the waiting room is full of people, I always find this hilarious and terribly embarassing at the same time.

residuo di arteria polmonare media - not convinced this is "middle pulmonary artery" but I have nothing better to suggest. Can't find any refs to this. Most occurrences mean "middle segment of the pulmonary artery".

The pulmonary arteries are separated from the aortic trunk, and any defects are patched. Usually, children also have a ventricular septal defect, and that is also
