| Popis: | During coronary balloon angioplasty (PTCA), arterial wall injury is unavoidable. This injury could give rise to local inflammation, accounting for increased thrombogenicity and hyperplasia. Coronary thermography is a new method that aims to detect the inflamed areas on the arterial wall by tracing the heat signatures of the activated macrophages. The temperature traces below … |
