[Arterialization of the coronary veins as a therapeutic measure in acute myocardial ischemia. Experimental studies on the miniswine. II. Cardiothermography and intramyocardial oxygen tension].

Abstract

The arterialisation of the coronary veins leads in the acute phase of myocardial ischemia to an effective circulation in the telethermographic picture. The oxygen tension in the tissue increases to 46% of the normal tissue tension in this way. The sinusoids have a nutritive function likely. Although the greatest amount of the blood supplied was drained before becoming metabolised a myocardial necrosis was prevented.
