Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are abnormal communications of coronary arteries whereby
venous circuits bypass the normal capillaries within the myocardium. CAFs are rare, and …

BACKGROUND Precise knowledge of the expected" normal" lumen diameter at a given

Following an arterial occlusion outward remodeling of pre-existent inter-connecting
arterioles occurs by proliferation of vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. This is …

Results of a comprehensive survey of the literature concerning coronarr artery anatomy,

Two hundred coronary arteriograms and left ventriculograms of patients having significant
coronary artery disease were reviewed. Collateral circulation was seen only when the …

Previous studies in the canine heart had shown that the growth of collateral arteries occurs
via proliferative enlargement of pre-existing arteriolar connections (arteriogenesis). In the …

In patients with atherosclerotic vascular diseases, collateral vessels bypassing major arterial
obstructions have frequently been observed. This may explain why some patients remain …

Twenty-three cases of an anatomic variant of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) are
described. This variant is termed “dual LAD” and consists of two branches which supply the …
