Summary

The very early attempts to visualize the coronary arteries radiographically were made in South America and Europe. Contrast medium was injected either by direct needle puncture or surgically introduced catheters into the aortic root. Visualization was generally poor due to the rapid flow in the ascending aorta and the relatively slow delivery rate of contrast medium without power injectors. Other important limitations were the filming techniques due to the relatively weak generators which resulted in long exposure times and consequent blurring of the coronary arteries.
