The human coronary collateral circulation.
BACKGROUND Coronary collaterals are an alternative source of blood supply to myocardium jeopardized by ischaemia. Well-developed coronary collateral arteries in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) mitigate myocardial infarcts and improve survival. METHODS AND RESULTS Collateral arteries preventing myocardial ischaemia during brief vascular occlusion are present in 1/3 of patients with...
متن کاملThe collateral circulation of the heart
The coronary arteries have been regarded as end arteries for decades. However, there are functionally relevant anastomotic vessels, known as collateral arteries, which interconnect epicardial coronary arteries. These vessels provide an alternative source of blood supply to the myocardium in cases of occlusive coronary artery disease. The relevance of these collateral arteries is a matter of ong...

متن کاملImportance of collateral circulation in coronary heart disease.
AIMS Collateral arteries are a common but inconsistent finding in coronary heart disease (CHD). We endeavoured to review the methods for coronary artery collateral assessment, the predictors and clinical importance of collateral blood flow, and the potential for therapeutic augmentation of collateral anastomoses. METHODS AND RESULTS While many methods have been used to assess collateral blood...
متن کاملCollateral circulation.
BACKGROUND The collateral circulation plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia. Current knowledge of the collateral circulation remains sparse, largely because of prior limitations in methods for evaluation of these diminutive routes of cerebral blood flow. SUMMARY OF REVIEW Anatomic descriptions of the collateral circulation often focus on more proximal anastomoses at...
