Abstract
Coronary blood flow velocity analysis of the contralateral and of the ipsilateral artery can be used to assess collateral flow during controlled balloon coronary occlusion. Coronary blood flow velocity assessment in combination with measurement of aortic pressure and coronary wedge pressure permits expression of the development of the collateral circulation in terms of flow and resistance. The application of both techniques is illustated in two patients. Β© 1995 WileyβLIss, Inc.

The current clinical standard for the analysis of intracoronary Doppler signals is the application of a zero-crossing (ZC) detector. However, the accuracy of the method is questionable, especially in areas of disturbed flow, as confirmed by in vitro studies, animal experiments, and intraoperative ob
