A functional collateral circulation may lead to reduced ischaemia, preservation of ventricular function, and an improved prognosis.

disagree  Barend van Zadelhoff: It says 'cons.' refers to collateral vasculature filling the RCA and it thus cannot stand for 'conservans of conservatie'

neutral  Barend van Zadelhoff: It says 'cons.' not 'conus'. Also, the conus artery usually provides collateral blood flow in occlusion of the LAD rather than the RCA

Related pathology

Although an acute occlusion of the tiny artery has been shown to result in S-T elevation, another more important role it serves in pathophysiology is that of a route of collateral circulation. The conus artery has been shown to collateralise with the more distal acute marginal branch in RCA stenosis/obstruction, and collateralise with the left anterior descending artery (LAD) in LAD stenosis/obstruction, providing a potentially vital collateral pathway.
