Spanish term or phrase: Ramo obtuso marginal

HOLA

Quisiera saber cómo se dice en inglés "ramo obtuso marginal" de una arteria coronaria. Es un informe que presenta los resultados de una coronariografia. Creo que ACX es arteria circunfleja:

ACX: Vaso de buen calibre y desarrollo con lesión no significativa ostial con salida inmediata de gran ramo obtuso marginal (de mayor calibre distal que la ACX propia) la cual presenta lesión significativa en porción proximal.

¿Qué les parece?

Gracias.

Obtuse marginal branch

Explanation:
Looking at the cardiology literature, it's clear that it's both the obtuse marginal branch or left marginal artery. Same thing.
