title: [Branches of the coronary arteries supplying the supraventricular crest].
abstract: The vascularization of the Crista Supraventricularis has not been investigated thoroughly by authors studying the morphology of the region. Among the scarce references which exist, great differences can be observed when evaluating the criteria on the source of arterial vascularization i.e. whether unicoronary or mixed. We therefore examined 54 human hearts which were submitted to corrosion and dissection and 46 hearts of various animal species. The vascularization patterns of the crista were determined and the intracrestal anastomoses described. We then proceeded to evaluate their role in cases of coronary occlusion.
