French term

coronarographique

French to English Medical Medical: Health Care hospital letter
This is a doctor's letter about an abdominal exploration, involving triple vessel impairment and analysis of the renal arteries.
Context:
'Une exploration coronarographique et angiographique abdominal documentera....'

I have found two translations for this, only one of which is likely to be correct. One is:

'A coronary arteriographic and angiographic abdominal exploration...'

and the other

'A cardiac catheterisation and angiogram will confirm...'

What do you think?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 coronary angiography

Note from asker:
Thank you, Liz, but it says 'coronagraphique et angiographique', which would, in this case, be repeating the same thing.
This appears to be a correct interpretation, Liz, but I'm not sure how to use it as an adjective in the sentence I have quoted: 'A coronographic and angiographic exploration...', would appear to be tautological.
