Yes I do, because there are 3 coronary arteries, 2 on the left originating from the left main (tronc commun) and one on the right side.
Note from asker:
Thank you, that's been driving me up the wall!! Seems it was already on here though: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/medical%3A_cardiology/4777367-tronc_commun.html
Do you think it is necessary to specify "left"?
