Implication

Affirms arteriography utility with optimal quality; leaves open validation against contemporary modalities.

Key Points

This research aims to compare the accuracy of selective coronary cinearteriography with postmortem findings.
Analyzed 29 premortem selective coronary cinearteriograms of patients who died subsequently.
Compared findings from arteriograms to postmortem examinations.
Evaluated sources of errors in diagnostic accuracy.
Only three significant functional errors were identified in the arteriograms.
Radiographic quality was the most critical factor for accuracy.
Concludes that high-quality arteriograms and skilled interpreters are essential for reliable evaluation.
