Abstract:
The formation of collaterals is a characteristic feature in the pathogenesis of chronic total occlusion of the coronary arteries.Myocardial viability distal to the lesion maintained by collaterals is critical in facilitating subsequent myocardial revascularization.Comprehensive research on the pathological and pathophysiological processes of the collaterals will help to understand the morphological and functional evaluation methods of the collaterals,which will lead to the timely diagnosis and effective treatment of chronic total occlusion.In this article,we intend to review research advances on collaterals in chronic total occlusion,focusing on the pathophysiological mechanisms,the methods of morphological and functional evaluation,as well as the clinical implication.
