Coronary angiography
In a coronary angiography report, after a number of other findings we get to right coronary artery. The findings for this read "stenose sur le genou inferieur (avec image de thrombus, QCA 75%).
I've spent ages researching this "genou" - the only really useful information I have found was on a site called "cardio-paramed.com" which locates the following segments: 1 from ostium to "genou superieur", 2 from genou superieur to "genou inferieur" and 3 from genou inferieur to "bifurcation IVP-RVG".
But I've got stuck.
Can anyone help me on what we call this "lower knee" in English???
With thanks

Shepherds Crook RCA
Shepherd's crook configuration of a coronary artery is typically described where the ostium is oriented superiorly and the proximal artery travels upwards before making a U-turn to resume its normal course. This configuration is most commonly seen involving the right coronary artery, but can also involve its branches.
