Abstract
Until now, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) has had the capability to visualize only the proximal portions of the main coronary arteries. However, we noticed that transthoracic color Doppler echocardiography has marked potential to visualize flow in the coronary arteries. In clinical cases we tested whether this method is useful for visualizing stenoses and flow even in peripheral branches of the coronaries. This article presents two illustrative clinical cases. In our experience, transthoracic color Doppler echocardiography is very suitable for clinical use.
