English term

Med. Cx

English to German Medical Medical: Cardiology Diagnose
This is the beginning of a section in an adverse event report referring to a patient's diagnosis who had a drug eluting coronary stent implanted.

The heading is: "Diagnosis and assessment" followed by
"Coronary 2-vessel disease" and then "Med. Cx without re-stenosis..."

I know Tx for therapy or Rx for prescriptions but I have never come across this acronym before...

Many thanks for your help!

Sabine Akabayov, PhD Jul 24, 2009:
Cx=circumflex artery see for example here:http://ang.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/56/4/385
there are some more papers using this abbreviation
Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) (asker) Jul 24, 2009:
"dist. Cx without restenosis" ...follows later in this section...

I should also mention that this was probably not written by a native!

Ramus circumflexus, medialer Ast

... würde ich sagen. Wobei die Benennung der Koronargefäße sehr unterschiedlich sein kann -- falls du eine Abb. hast, lässt sich das genauer eingrenzen, s. Larsen: Anästhesie und Intensivmedizin in Herz-, Thorax- und Gefäßchirurgie, http://books.google.de/books?id=f85PyMXAO2kC&pg=RA1-PA134&lp... ).
Ramus circumflexus für cx. aber auf jeden Fall.
Note from asker:
