==Collateral Circulation assessed visually using the following grading system==
 
===Grade 0===
 
[[Grade 0 Collaterals | No collaterals present]]. Angiography fails to reveal evidence of collateral vessels.
 
===Grade 1 (or partial)===
 
[[Grade 1 (partial) Collaterals | Minimal collaterals present]]. Evidence of minimal to partial filling of the recipient branch epicardial arteries/infarct region. It is not necessary for one to see the branches connect directly to the major epicardial artery.
 
===Grade 2 (or complete)===
 
[[Grade 2 (complete) Collaterals | Well-developed collaterals]]. Evidence of collateral circulation with near complete to complete filling of the recipient major epicardial artery/infarct region.
 
===Grade 3 (myocardial)===
 
[[Grade 3 (myocardial) Collaterals | Filling of the myocardium by collaterals]]. If the collaterals are not filling any visible arterial branch, but are only participating in the perfusion of the myocardium.
