cruz

English translation: crux or crux cordis

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:cruz
English translation:crux or crux cordis

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / coronary artery anatomy
Spanish term or phrase: cruz
This "cruz" shows up in a patient's past medical history, in the description of percutaneous coronary intervention findings when he had a heart attack:

"Infarto inferoposterior... ICP de rescate... presentandose en el cateterismo: coronaria derecha dominante, con estenosis severa en su segmento distal (antes the la *cruz*) ...implantación de stent ..."etc.

What is the English term for "cruz" in this context? I'm thinking it might be "crossing", but I'm not familiar with this anatomy and don't want to put in a guess when there might be a more standard term. The report is from Spain.

Thanks for you help, again.

crux or crux cordis
Explanation:
As I said in the discussion, more clear context would be useful.
This might also mean (but I am not sure" the atrioventricular junction
Constantinos reference has nothing to do with "cruz" as his reference only mentions "a coronary cross-section"
