Abstract
Thermal coronary angiograms cannot show hemokinesis clearly in cases with an intramyocardial arterial segment or in patients in whom the grafts are surrounded by fat. Therefore, thermal coronary angiograms are considered to play a valuable role in confirming the success or failure of myocardium revascularization because this diagnostic modality does not interfere with the surgical procedures, is noninvasive, and can be both quickly and easily performed.
