Italian term or phrase: Carrefour
This French word has popped up in an Italian discharge report as follows:
In considerazione della severità della valvulopatia, abbiamo ritenuto indicato procedere a valutazione non invasiva della valvulopatia aortica mediante TAC annulus e accessi (19/03) per poter programmare intervento di sostituzione valvolare aortica per via percutanea (TAVI), che evidenziava aneurisma sottorenale (ad origine a circa 43.7 mm dall'emergenza dell'arteria renale inferiore, diametri massimi pari a circa 45.3 mm x 39.9 mm) con apposizioni trombotiche eccentriche in sede antero-laterale sinistra, che si estende longitudinalmente per circa 65 mm, sino al Carrefour.
The subsequent text is not connected with the above.
At the moment I've just gone for a non-specific 'intersection'. Does anyone have any better ideas?

Explanation:
It's where the aorta divides into two iliac arteries. Italian vascular surgeons and sonographers often use the French term, which is not found in English.
