Italian term or phrase: archi di calcio
This is taken from an angioplasty report. Seems to be describing the formation of the calcification in the patient's coronary arteries but I can't find the English equivalent.

"LESIONE DISTALE: LANDING ZONE DISTALE EEL 2.75MM, PROX 3.07MM CON DIAMETRO DI 3.5 MM IN PICCOLA ECTASIA. LESIONE MEDIA:LUNGO SEGMENTO ATEROMASICO, MARCATAMENTE CALCIFICO CON TALORA ARCHI DI CALCIO PROFONDI ED >180%; EEL DISTALE 3.45MM, PROSSIMALE 5.45MM.

Explanation:
deep calcium arc
The presence of both total calcium arc ≥47° and mean lumen diameter of ≤2.8 mm provided the best predictive accuracy for detection of excessive lumen underestimation by CTA. - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1936878X1...

Proper interpretation of the results of any of the noninvasive physiologic tests depends on
in-depth knowledge of vascular disease
in general as well as of the individual
patient. -
Additionally, calcium
localization was defined as subendothelial, central or deep. - https://watermark.silverchair.com/0.97907995.870.pdf?token=A...
The total circumferential calcium
arc was measured quantitatively and calcium localization was differentiated as being subendothelial (lumenintimal interface), central (within 50% of the plaque
area) or deep (intimal-medial border) in the arterial
wall. - the same link
However, a trend towards a lower plaque reduction was
found in lesions with deep calcium arcs. - idem

Lesions with deep calcium arcs had a trend
toward a reduced lumen gain in contrast to other
calcified lesions. - id
