branching (off) point/origin
We're talking about the circumflex artery (arteria circunfleja, CX) and its confluence with the left/obtuse marginal artery. Text says:
Circumflex artery (CX): Dominant, of great diameter and extension. In (its) middle segment [referring to circumflex artery's middle], behind the branching off point/origin of the second left/obtuse marginal artery [obtusa marginal is left one, aguda is right], it presents...
Style depends on whether you are using passive writing, etc, but this is the meaning. In this report there's more than one OM artery branching from the CX.
Hope this helps!

: Agree. Apparently, there are usually 2, but sometimes 3, OMs to the left circumflex artery.
