Implication

May indicate alternative perfusion in gradual occlusion; hypothesis-generating in animals and requires human validation before clinical relevance.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Hearts (model not explicitly stated, likely animal or human cadaveric hearts)
I
Intervention
Perfusion, injections, and serial sections to study Thebesian vessels
O
Outcome
Anatomical and physiological demonstration of connections between coronary arteries and heart chambers via Thebesian veins

Thebesian vessels provide a direct connection between coronary arteries and heart chambers, potentially serving as a crucial collateral blood supply during gradual coronary occlusion.
