Italian term or phrase: asse TC

Angiogram performed on patient with stenosis.

"stenosi critica (70-80%) al tratto prossimale del RCX (a valle dello stent) e stenosi critica (70%) all'ostio del tronco comune -> PTCA/3xDES [redacted] sull'asse TC-RCX prossimale;"

I know that TC is LCA and looking at the earlier part of the sentence, I'm tempted to put "ostium" as a translation for "asse" but would love to know the opinion of others!
