Coronary Sinus Catheterization Technique for Studying Coronary Blood Flow and Myocardial Metabolism in vivo.

Abstract

Coronary sinus catheterization technique has been developed in intact dogs in order to study coronary blood flow and myocardial metabolism, and to evaluate the safety and practicality of a similar procedure in man. The pathological findings, among 30 autopsies following the procedure, have been discussed.
