Intracoronary Doppler flow to monitor the results of selective saphenous vein graft thrombolytic therapy
Abstract
Selective intracoronary thrombolytic therapy has recently been advocated as a technique to recanalize occluded coronary bypass grafts. We report a novel approach for monitoring the results of this treatment utilizing a coronary artery doppler flow guidewire. This approach may optimize the duration of thrombolytic treatment in these patients.
