โœฆ Synopsis

In patients undergoing angioplasty for angina after myocardial infarction, patterns of post-stenotic coronary blood flow velocity depend not only on satisfactory dilation of the flow-limiting lesion, but also on the vasoregulatory capacity of infarcted myocardium.

The case examples demonstrate both normal and persistently abnormal flow velocity patterns following successful coronary angioplasty for post-infarction ischemia. Recognition of collateral flow patterns, easily available using the Doppler angioplasty guidewire, may provide valuable information predicting the viability of post-infarcted myocardium and the resolution of abnormal distal coronary flow patterns.

Two essentially different methods for physiological evaluation of coronary artery disease were compared in the setting of angioplasty and related to quantitative coronary angiography. Forty-five patients, referred for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), were examined by digital su
