Angiogram performed on patient with stenosis.
"stenosi critica (70-80%) al tratto prossimale del RCX (a valle dello stent) e stenosi critica (70%) all'ostio del tronco comune -> PTCA/3xDES [redacted] sull'asse TC-RCX prossimale;"
I know that TC is LCA and looking at the earlier part of the sentence, I'm tempted to put "ostium" as a translation for "asse" but would love to know the opinion of others!

Reference:
axis CT
The mean cardiac axis on CT was 38.1 ± 7.8° - https://bjcardio.co.uk/2015/04/cardiac-orientation-is-there-...
Cardiac CT with ECG triggering offers good image quality of the heart when compared to CT performed for other purposes. - http://www.radiologyassistant.nl/en/p48ce14c4dcd2e/cardiac-a...
Another feature of this cardiac axis is that the apex of the heart is well demarcated. - http://www.radiologyassistant.nl/en/p48ce14c4dcd2e/cardiac-a...

One example found online: "The left coronary artery system branches into the circumflex artery and the left anterior descending artery."
asse can = blood vessels, I think
dell'asse iliaco-. femoro-popliteo
