Does chronic implantation of a Silastic catheter in a coronary artery alter coronary vascular reactivity and myocardial function in dogs?
Chronic implantation of a Silastic coronary catheter in dogs is feasible and does not alter coronary vascular reactivity or myocardial function, enabling future physiological studies.
Patricia A. Gwirtz (1986) studied this question.
