With your age and gender this finding is not rare especially if you have history of chronic hypertension. You should not worry much if the rest of study was normal. Take care.

Your report reflects an incomplete study, as persistent efforts to enter a severely tortuous artery might have provided a risk of injury. The next proper step is to discuss what other approaches would be appropriate at this point.
