Abstract
This section describes the clinical evidence for benefit from coronary collateral channels. There is data to suggest the presence of a protective effect in patients sustaining myocardial infarction regardless of whether they receive reperfusion therapy, and whether the collaterals were preformed. The role of pre-infarction angina in stimulating collateral development remains a contentious issue.Entities:
