The first "selective" coronary arteriogram was made 50 years ago by Dr. F. Mason Sones at the Cleveland Clinic. Soon afterward coronary arteriography was developed as a diagnostic method suitable for widespread clinical application. This method has revolutionized our understanding of coronary artery disease and has become the basis for selecting and evaluating therapeutic interventions. This Viewpoint commemorates the achievements of the pioneers of coronary arteriography, the difficulties they encountered, and their impact on the development of modern cardiology. Developments during the last half century and prospects for the future are discussed in historical perspective.
50 年前,克利夫兰诊所的 F·梅森·索恩斯(F. Mason Sones)医生首次进行了选择性冠状动脉造影。此后不久,冠状动脉造影作为一种适合广泛临床应用的诊断方法得到发展。这种方法彻底改变了我们对冠状动脉疾病的认识,并成为选择和评估治疗干预措施的基础。本观点纪念冠状动脉造影先驱者的成就,他们所遇到的困难,以及他们对现代心脏病学发展的影响。从历史的角度讨论了过去半个世纪的发展和未来的展望。
