Q

What collateral network supplies distal to AI dz?

why are the collaterals important?

A

lumbar and hypogastric feeding vessles connect to circumflex iliac, hypogastric, femoral and profunda recipients

in extreme, IMA to inferior epigastric and
SMA to IMA and
hemorrhoidal artery via arc of Riolan and meadering mesenteric artery
