The coronary flow velocity changes in the great cardiac and middle cardiac veins, induced by intracoronary administration of nitroglycerine, adenosine, and during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, were evaluated in 12 patients with significant coronary stenoses, using the Doppler wire
Between August, 1993-December, 1994, recanalization of a chronically occluded coronary artery was attempted in 412 patients, with an overall success rate of 77%. The main reason for failure was subintimal tracking of the guide wire. However, in 13 patients, advancing the guide wire was not possible
The efficacy of 6 French guiding catheters for angioplasty of chronic total coronary occlusions was evaluated in 61 consecutive patients. The duration of the occlusion was determined angiographically, or estimated from an index clinical event. Endpoints were procedural success, defined as recanaliza
