Mind you, I'm not a cardiologist. I'm just looking at it from a language point of view.

move away;deviate


Explanation:
Either the word "deviate" or the phrase "move away" can be used instead of "given off".
Both these words explain that the septal branches are leading off from the artery.
*Two septal branches were observed deviating from the left anterior descending artery.
*Two septal branches were observed moving away from the left anterior descending artery.
