: values are statistically significant compared to preintervention.
vessel grading is a system used to quantify the size of the collateral vessels formed as follows:
Grade 0: no collateral vessels.
Grade 1: ≤5 small.
Grade 2: >5 small.
Grade 3: ≤5 large ± small.
Grade 4: >5 large ± small.
vessel category is a system used to quantify the number of collateral vessels present as follows:
Category 0: no collateral vessels.
Category 1: 1–3 collateral vessels.
Category 2: 4–7 collateral vessels.
Category 3: ≥8 collateral vessels.
