Cine-coronary arteriography.

Coronary arteriography. Sones first performed this technique in 1958, and first published a more detailed account of it in a 1960 book chapter: "Cinecardioangiography," pp. 130-144 in B. L. Gordon (ed.) Clinical cardiopulmonary physiology, 2nd ed., New York, 1960. "The 1960 book chapter includes a 6-page discussion of the technique of selective coronary arteriography (which is illustrated with 12 frames depicting the opacification of the right and left coronary arteries). Sones describes the special coronary catheter he had designed in 1959 and explains that he had performed the selective procedure in more than 200 patients" (W. Bruce Fye).
