Supports protective role of moderator band collaterals in proximal RCA occlusion; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Collateral flow to the right ventricular myocardium, particularly through the moderator band artery, appears to protect against massive right ventricular infarction in the setting of proximal right coronary artery occlusion.
Haupt et al. (1983) studied this question.
