Spanish term

ENFERMEDAD CORONARIA LIMITE DE DA MEDIA

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
INFARTO AGUDO DE MIOCARDIO ANTERO-SEPTAL FIBRINOLISADO KILLIP I. ANGOR POSTIAM. **ENFERMEDAD CORONARIA LIMITE DE DA MEDIA. ANGIOPLASTIA CON STENT FARMACOACTIVO SOBRE DA MEDIA**

I presume 'DA' means 'descendente anterior'? I have only come across the expression 'left anterior descending'. How would one translate 'media' in this case - 'medial'/'median'?

Thanks in advance.

Significa que hay una lesión en el tercio (o segmento) medio de la descendente anterior.

http://content.onlinejacc.org/cgi/content/full/33/6/1756/T9

LAD = left anterior descending coronary artery
Mid-LAD = middle segment of the LAD
No estoy muy segura sobre lo que quiere decir con límite, me da la idea que la lesión toma todo el segmento medio, se podría decir **within the entire mid-LAD artery segment**

It is not necessary to mention artery (arteries) since coronary disease implies the anatomical area. It is left or right.
