Spanish term

pinza aorto-mesentérica

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) CT scan results
This is in a description of CT scan findings:

Adenopatías en la región retrocrural derecha ... en la salida del tronco celiaco, en la *pinza aorto-mesenterica*, en la región mesenterica ..."

What is this "pinza aorto-mesentérica"? I've been trying to find this online but I'm not sure if I've found the right expression, since I'm not familiar with this level of anatomical detail. Is it the "aortomesenteric angle"? Or ... ?

Thanks again for your help.

Yes IMO your assumption, "aorto-mesenteric angle" is fine.

aortomesenteric angle

Pinza would be the angle in English, even though it is not a literal translation.

I just realized it... you are right...
Note from asker:
Hi Zareh ... well, I also would think "compression" for "pinza" but it confuses me here because it looks like it refers to an anatomical site or structure.
