Therefore, we have evaluated the impact of well-developed collaterals compared with poorly developed collaterals to a concomitant CTO in STEMI %K coronary collateral circulation %K chronic total occlusion (cto) %K stemi %K cardiac function %K coronary intervention (pci) %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6059304/
