A way of translating the last sentence in its entirety would be:

"Hydrophilic guidewire is positioned crossover on the injury".

This is the expression used in the following source:

Peer comment(s):

agree SJLD : OK for hydrophilic guidewire but your suggested translation is wrong - it's not an injury but a lesion, and "si crossa" means the guidewire was passed through/across the lesion (some authors write "crossed the lesion")

Thanks SJLD! I have connection problems with all websites from time to time, and it's a shame when I'm trying to answer Kudoz.
