Implication

Uncertainty in coronary anastomotic pathways warrants caution in collateral-dependent interventions; leaves open precise anatomic mapping in CAD.

Key Points

To explore the nature of enlarged coronary anastomoses and structural changes in the heart's blood supply under disease conditions.
Review of previous studies on arterial anastomoses and collateral circulation in coronary artery disease.
Analysis of existing literature on structural changes in coronary circulation due to arterial occlusion.
Enlarged anastomotic channels are derived from pre-existing pre-capillary communications in diseased conditions.
Increased incidence of intercoronary communications observed in the presence of coronary occlusion.
