Italian term

caldificazioni lamellari all'arco

Italian to English Medical Medical: Cardiology aortic plaques
Hi everyone,
I'm not too sure how to translate this phrase. I suppose "plaque layers on the aortic arch"?? That doesn't sound very good though! I keep wanting to write "bilateral" but I can't verify that translation anywhere.
Unfortunately there isn't much context to help but there's this: Profilo cardio-mediastinico conservato. Calcificazioni lamellari all'arco".
Does anybody know? Thanks!

lamellar calcifications of the aortic arch

literal
Example sentence:

Le calcificazioni lamellari dell’arco aortico sono deposizioni di calcio che interessano gli strati esterni dell’aorta, e proprio in virtù di ciò sono molto meno pericolose delle calcificazioni rinvenibili negli strati interni.

Calcification involving the aortic arch occurs in more than 25% of normal patients from age 61-70 years.
