Abstract

Introduction: Coronary artery disease is one of the major cardiovascular diseases affecting the global human population. When the primary stenotic or blocked channel fails to deliver enough blood to the myocardium, the coronary collateral circulation serves as a backup source of blood supply. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of collateral development in patients undergoing coronary angiography in a tertiary care centre.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with peripheral vascular injuries that underwent operative management in a tertiary care centre from November 2021 to April 2022. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Registration number: CMC-IRC/078/079-027). Convenience sampling technique was used. Data for the study was retrieved from operation records of the patients along with their treatment summaries. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.

Results: Among 170 patients undergoing coronary angiography, 84 (49.41%) (41.6-56.6, 95% Confidence Interval) had developed collateral circulation. The mean age was 62.8±11.7 years.

Conclusions: The prevalence of collateral development in the coronary artery was similar to other published literature.

Keywords: angiography; artery; blood circulation; prevalence.
