Summary
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.
