English translation:tight calcification/tight calcified lesions
Explanation:
Medical jargon, could also mean "tight calcified stenosis", but if it has already been recanalized, it's more likely to be that there's just an amount of tight calcification there, which is then stented to prevent re-blockage.

Example sentence(s):
  • Predilation is favoured in long or tight calcified lesions, total occlusion, bifurcation lesions, proximal tortuosity, and distal vessel lesions.
  • Very tight calcified lesions may also resist dilatation even at the highest possible balloon pressure or may cause rupture of the balloons at low inflation pressure.
