Vieussens' ring is an embryologic remnant that acquires clinical significance as an intercoronary collateral vessel in advanced coronary artery disease. Its origin as a peritruncal structure early in embryologic development, and its association with congenital pulmonary artery fistula, provides a crucial insight into the early stages of the coronary circulation. This review describes the embryologic basis of Vieussens' ring in relation to the formation of the coronary arteries, which explains its location, appearance, and clinical importance.
维厄桑斯环是一种胚胎学遗迹，在晚期冠状动脉疾病中作为冠状动脉间侧支血管具有临床意义。它在胚胎发育早期起源于动脉干周围结构，且与先天性肺动脉瘘相关，这为冠状动脉循环的早期阶段提供了关键见解。本综述描述了维厄桑斯环与冠状动脉形成相关的胚胎学基础，这解释了其位置、外观及临床重要性。
