“…In the case of supravalvular aortic stenosis, coronary arterial pressure increases and flow moves from the coronary arteries to the bronchial arteries [ 34 ]. This also occurs when bronchial arterial pressure decreases, as in Fallot tetralogy presenting pulmonary atresia [ 35 ] or stenosis [ 36 ]; or in the event of a pulmonary artery obstructive lesion, as is the case in Takayasu's arteritis, in which flow runs to the pulmonary circulation through the bronchial arteries [ 30 ]. Conversely, blood flow is directed to the heart when the pressure regimen is reduced in coronary arteries due to stenosis or occlusion [ 26 , 28 ].…”

The “noncoronary collateral circulation” (NCCC) or “noncoronary collateral myocardial blood flow” (NCCMBF), reaches the heart through a micro-vascular network arising from the bronchial, esophageal, pericardial, diaphragmatic, and aortic arteries. The left and right internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) along with their collateral branches also serve as a source of NCCMBF-a feature seen in other mammals. Under certain circumstances the ITAs have a high potential for developing collateral branches. In the case of severe Leriche syndrome or with chronic obstruction of the abdominal aorta, the ITAs can serve as the main or even sole source of blood supply to the lower limbs. It is also possible for the ITAs to develop angiographically visible branches that directly connect with the coronary arteries. In ischemic conditions there is a functional, ischemia-reducing extracardiac coronary artery supply via natural ipsilateral ITA anastomosis. To date we know little about NCCMBF and its potential benefits in clinical applications, which makes this a challenging and intriguing field of research. This paper reviews all available data on noncoronary collateral blood supply to the human heart.

“…The improvement of cardioangiography at increased intrabronchial pressure was one of his main contributions (159), as were his studies of the bronchial circulation for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (160,162,166). Perforation of the pericar dium as a complication of angiography (163) or for therapy (161) was another of his major contribu tions during this period (Figs 20, 21).…”
