Spanish term

OM1 precoz

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Medical: Cardiology OM1 description
This is a description that comes up in a cornariography. Doctor describes the OM1 as "precoz" and
then in parenthesis ("nearly bisected"). I know OM1 is (first) obtuse marginal branch.

In what sense is "precoz" used here?

context It helps your potential helpers to post the complete sentence, if there is one.
Joseph Tein Aug 9, 2013:
by the way ... "coronarography" isn't the term you want to use in your translation; it's "coronary angiography" ... I see that I already suggested this to you back in January; you really should consider it.

early obtuse first marginal

Not totally sure of this, only because I find very few google hits to back this up.
Example sentence:

"The left circumflex artery gives off two early obtuse marginal branches. The first one ..."

"The LCA trifurcates into the LAD, Cx and an intermediate vessel, which is effectively an early obtuse marginal branch. "
