Abstract

Anomalies as well as variations of vascular structures are widely diagnosed with today's advanced diagnostic tools and healthcare screening programs. Collateral formation is a well known phenomenon in the presence of stenosis or occlusion to provide blood flow to the distal vasculature. In this report, we present the image of a collateral between the left common carotid artery and right coronary artery in the absence of significant stenosis.
