The effect of reduced blood-flow on the coronary wall temperature. Are significant lesions suitable for intravascular thermography?
The reduction of coronary flow has an effect on the arterial wall temperature. This effect however, appears only below a critical threshold of APV and in a logarithmic fashion. Above this threshold, temperature measurements should be unaffected from flow reductions and related to the regional temperature heterogeneity.
the presence of contralateral carotid occlusion caused an increased use of shunt, but not in early complications rates.
