Abstract
Since its development in the early 1960s, coronary arteriography has been of great importance in the diagnosis and management of patients with ischemic heart disease [1, 2, 3]. Also for the next decade, it can be expected that, once the functional significance of a stenosis has been proved, anatomic data obtained at arteriography will remain necessary as a map for the cardiac surgeon or the interventional cardiologist to be informed about the correct sites where bypasses have to be placed or the balloon has to be inflated.
