Italian term
Coronarie puntellate
Italian to English
Medical
Medical: Cardiology
Hello all,
I am dealing with a medical translation from IT->EN as part of college coursework. I am stuck on the term "Coronarie puntellate" and having difficulty finding an equivalent. It features in an information leaflet for stents and their implantation. Here is the text below:
Coronarie puntellate
Una delle innovazioni più affascinanti nella cura dell’infarto o delle ischemie gravi si chiama stent, ed è un perfezionamento della tecnica di dilatazione delle arterie occluse (rivascolarizzazione) eseguita con il famoso “palloncino” (l’angioplastica). La cardiopatia ischemica è una malattia cardiaca caratterizzata da un ridotto apporto di sangue al cuore, dovuto alla chiusura o al restringimento delle arterie coronarie, i vasi sanguigni che nutrono il cuore stesso.
I vantaggi dell’angioplastica rispetto alla chirurgia tradizionale sono parecchi: l’intervento è breve, poco invasivo e, quindi, affrontabile più facilmente anche da persone in condizioni poco favorevoli a lunghe permanenze in sala operatoria. Tuttavia l’arteria rivascolarizzata tende in un numero non trascurabile di casi a occludersi nuovamente. Infatti la dilatazione dell’arteria induce nelle fibre elastiche del vaso una risposta contraria, un po’ come gonfiare una camera d’aria: il tubo di gomma tende a espellere l’aria. La risposta, come spesso avviene, è concettualmente semplice. E l’idea di base è semplice: posizionare nel tratto arterioso dilatato dal palloncino un tubetto (stent) di calibro adeguato che faccia per così dire da anima del vaso, impedendo che si richiuda con il tempo o sotto l’azione degli stessi fattori che avevano portato all’occlusione primaria.

coronary artery support
Another idea would be support for the coronary arteries
The blood vessel stent has the advantages that the blood vessel stent is particularly applicable to coronary arteries, and good coronary artery support effects can be realized by the blood vessel stent;

puntellare
Appoggiarsi a un sostegno; sorreggersi, sostenersi
https://www.wordreference.com/definizione/puntellare
Normally, the purpose of the stents is to provide support to the arteries in order for the blood to flow without obstructions.

: ok, but puntellare / puntellate is not a stent, or did I not understand something?

Buttressed coronary arteries
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3528239/
"Along came the bare-metal stent—a metallic buttress to solve all the problems of angioplasty—and, thereafter, the drug-eluting stent (DES), which “cured” restenosis (Fig. 2). Indeed, the stent was a godsend for those of us who do not use cardioplegia. The use of stents drastically reduced the probability of emergent surgery after attempted PCI8,9; however, the probability of new lesion formation or restenosis after intervention did not decrease.10"
https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/01.cir.94.6.119...
"Spanning ribs enable canoes and massive sailing ships to float and withstand the battering of the seas. Bronze-age huts were supported by massive wooden hoops embedded in the walls, and the great cathedrals of Europe rose only by virtue of innovative buttress supports. Endovascular stents were designed with the expectation that they would similarly buttress the collapsible artery against deforming stress with the hope that they might break the vicious cycle of arterial stenosis, intervention, and restenosis."

As the term only appears in the section heading, you could also say "Buttressing the coronary arteries", with the word "buttressing" in quotes, as I admit it sounds odd even though used by several MT authors to explain the concept of stents.
"puntellate" clearly means "stented" but it's explaning the concept before actually introducing the word "stent" as the text is for non-experts.
A gerund might also work for Stuart and Aida's suggestion "Supporting the coronary arteries" , or "Reinforcing the coronary arteries"
"Scaffolding" also comes to mind, but it seems to be mostly associated with "bioresorbable stents" https://tinyurl.com/y2f58vxr

"Bare-metal stents have no special coating. They act as scaffolding to prop open blood vessels after they're widened with angioplasty."
