An expansive collateral artery network is correlated with improved survival in case of adverse cardiac episodes. We aimed to identify cellular microRNAs (miRNA; miR) important for collateral artery growth. Chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients (n = 26) were dichotomized using pressure-derived collateral flow index (CFI<sub>p</sub>) measurements; high collateral capacity (CFI<sub>p</sub> > 0.39; n = 14) and low collateral (CFI<sub>p</sub> < 0.39; n = 12) capacity. MiRNA profiling via next genera ...[more]
