Implication
Prompts RV assessment in proximal RCA occlusions; leaves open whether collaterals alter reperfusion strategies.

Outcome
Right ventricular (RV) ischemic dysfunction or preserved RV performance
Collaterals or spontaneous reperfusion can preserve right ventricular performance even in the presence of proximal right coronary artery occlusion.
