English translation: in thin vessels

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:a carico di vasi esili
English translation:in thin vessels

Medical - Medical: Cardiology / coronary artery disease
Italian term or phrase: a carico di vasi esili
"... SCA [acute coronary syndrome] da coronaropatia bivascolare con stenosi critiche a carico di vasi esili ..."

This is in a patient's hospital report. My main question is about the 'vasi esili' ... all I can think of is 'slender vessels' or 'small vessels'. Is there a more correct/specific anatomical term for these?

(And 'bivascolare' ... should this be left as 'bivascular' (I find this infrequently in google) or is 'two-vessel' better here?)

Grazie tante :)

thin vessels
Explanation:
Hi Joseph!

I'd just call them thin vessels which also implies that they are weak.

Since you asked for the anatomical term: tiny vessels are generally called 'capillaries' [ I am sure you know that :)], but you cannot use the term here.

As for your second question, definitely 2-vessel [coronary artery disease], not bivascular, it's not used in EN.

Good night now :)
