; Collateral Circulation; What is collateral circulation? ... When a collateral vessel on the heart enlarges, it lets blood flow from an open coronary artery to an adjacent one or further downstream on the same artery. In this way, collateral vessels grow and form a kind of "detour" around a blockage.

Coronary collateral circulation in the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease has been well described. In the presence of a significant lesion, the perfusion pressure in the distal vascular bed falls, which causes myocardial ischemia and leads to the recruitment of collateral arteries.
