Abstract

A unique case of left internal mammary artery-to-circumflex coronary artery collateral pathway, which was conceivably encouraged to develop by coronary occlusion. The pathway provided sufficient collateral perfusion to preserve the local myocardial performance. (Jpn Circ J 2001; 65: 753 - 754)
