Take-off in your context (also branching off, or ostium)

The synonym for ostium 'origin' could also be used, i.e. normal origin of the coronary arteries.

branching pattern


Explanation:
Another option: "normal branching pattern" (TBH, I don't think that 'origin', 'take-off' or 'ostium' would be commonly used in an English report in this case).
