“…It seems that VAR more commonly originates from the conus branch and terminates to the proximal segment of the LAD, since more than half of the 56 cases illustrated in the review, 29 cases (51.8%) were classified as type IA [ 6 , 15 , 19 , 21 - 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 33 , 35 , 40 - 44 , 46 - 49 , 54 - 56 , 60 , 61 , 63 ]. Type IIA follows with 10 cases (17.9%) [ 16 , 18 , 20 , 31 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 53 , 59 , 62 ], and types IB [ 10 , 29 , 38 , 27 , 34 , 50 , 57 ] and IIB [ 4 , 5 , 8 , 47 , 45 , 51 ] were found in seven cases each (12.5%).…”

In coronary artery disease, the presence of Vieussens’ arterial ring (VAR), a ring-shaped anastomosis between the conus branch of the right coronary artery with the left anterior descending artery (LAD), will allow blood flow to return to the obstructed coronary system. We have conducted a literature review, aiming to collect all the existing information about the documented VAR cases and any related pathological conditions. A total of 54 studies entered the review, including 56 patients. The mean age of the patients was 56.12 ± 16.2 years. Angina was present in 53.6% of the patients, with 7.2% of the cases being asymptomatic. Coronary artery disease outweighed (58.9%) as the patients’ most frequent diagnosis. We propose a novel VAR anatomical classification, based on the sites of origin and termination of its course, with six distinct types, for a better understanding and surgical management of VAR. Type IA, originating from the conus branch and terminating in the proximal segment of the LAD was most frequently reported (51.8%). The recognition and the subsequent evaluation of the ring’s anatomy and course are crucial for a customized clinical intervention. When right and left coronary angiographies fail to reveal any collateral circulation, selective conus artery catheterization should be in order. The proposed classification offers a manageable and comprehensive context for the assessment, evaluation and planning of therapeutic strategies of VAR and sets a new terminology frame for treatment guidelines.
