Abstract

Coronary arterial vascularisation in the human infant in the first five weeks of life, was studied by radiological and injection-corrosion techniques. The main differences lay in the characteristics of the circumflex artery and its distribution over the myocardial wall. These differences were age-related. Coronary arterial anastomoses were detected in 61% of the hearts.
