In a coronary angiography report:
CIRCONFLESSA ... Marginale Ottuso con stenosi critical all'origine di entrambi i *rami divisionali* che presentano un calibro < 2 mm.
What are these "rami divisionali"? I presume they are branches that come off the obtuse marginal ... what would we call these in English? "Divisional branches" comes to mind, but I find very few instances in google, and the examples I find see to be in translations (and one dissertation from India ... not the greatest English used).
How would I translate "rami divisionali" here?
Thanks for your help.

side branches
In percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), the
treatment of bifurcation lesions is a challenge to the interventional
cardiologist. PCI operators, in general, use the
term coronary artery bifurcation (from latin furca ¼ fork,
branch): (i) when a coronary artery divides into two
equally important branches or (ii) when a main branch
gives away a side branch, which is large enough to be of
haemodynamic significance, whereas when a large coronary
artery gives away a small, haemodynamically unimportant
side branch, the term bifurcation is less used.

Reference:
intermediary artery could be termed a 'divisional artery'
Branches:-
Obtuse Marginal branches are the anteriorly directed side branches from the left circumflex artery; a relatively large branch is usually visible and located approximately halfway between the anterior and posterior free walls of the left ventricle along obtuse margin and hence the name
RAMUS INTERMEDIUS: -
In some hearts, an artery running toward the midportion of the lateral wall of the left ventricle arises from the angle between the division of the anterior descending and the circumflex arteries. This creates the appearance of a trifurcation of the main trunk. This branch is sometimes so large that it may even reach the region. Appropriate terms for this vessel are left intermediate artery, ramus medianus, or arteries intermedia.

Note from asker:
| Ciao Lirka! Thanks for this information ... I didn't think it was a ramus intermedius in this case. |
