a,b, Location of collateral bridges in relationship to infarcted tissue. (a) Schematic of categorization shown in b. b, Pie chart showing distribution of collateral location (n = 87 collaterals, n = 6 hearts). Distribution by collateral configuration type (n = 47 collaterals, n = 3 hearts). c, Distances between the aorta and collateral bridges (n = 47 collaterals, n = 3 hearts). d–f, Septal artery evaluation. (d) Distances between most distal RCA and SpA branch tips to the aorta. (e) Representative image of 3D rendered coronary artery branch tips and distances. (f) Quantification of distances in e between most distal branch tips of RCA and SpA to LCA. Right (RCA), left (LCA), and septal (SpA) coronary arteries. d–f, n = 3 hearts. Error bars are mean ± st dev: ****, p≤0.0001 by two-sided Student’s t-test.
