Abstract
The anterior descending coronary artery of dogs was temporarily occluded for the insertion
of a polyethylene tube. Sudden return of the arterial flow after completion of this
intubation was followed by ventricular fibrillation within twenty seconds in 6 of
31 animals. Intermittent release over a period of several minutes was associated with
no fatalities in 11 dogs.
These observations would seem to justify exercise of caution during the restoration
of temporarily interrupted coronary flow in various types of procedures.
