Clinical and experimental observations have suggested that newly developed collaterals usually remain even after successful revascularization. We present a patient in whom coronary collateral regression was angiographically demonstrated within about 1 month after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, which led to the development of acute myocardial infarction. This case suggests that there may be a possibility of unexplained clinically important anatomical or functional regression of collaterals after reperfusion.

D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D015425 Myocardial Reperfusion Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.

D016277 Ventricular Function, Left The hemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the left HEART VENTRICLE.
