Supports uniform recovery across ischemic zones post-collateralisation; leaves open translation to human coronary syndromes.
Does repeated brief coronary artery occlusion induce collateral vessel development and improve regional myocardial function in conscious dogs?
Repeated brief coronary occlusions in a canine model induce uniform collateral flow distribution, salvaging substantial areas of at-risk myocardial tissue from ischemia.
Fujita et al. (1987) studied this question.
