The presence of coronary collateral vessels has been associated with improved clinical outcome in patients with coronary artery disease. Animal experiments have shown that hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) can promote angiogenesis in ischemic tissues in a cholesterol-independent manner. We hypothesized that statin therapy is associated with increased coronary collateral formation in patients with severe coronary artery disease.
