Abstract

In 1957, Sones performed the first human selective coronary arteriography, opening a new era in the assessment of coronary artery disease in vivo [1]. More than fifty years since its introduction in the clinical field, coronary angiography remains an irreplaceable diagnostic test in the evaluation of ischemic heart disease. Recently, however, the introduction of other coronary imaging techniques has helped in redefining its limits and usefulness.
