Although significant preliminary investigations along similar lines of approach had been made by Forssman,1Egas Moniz, Carvalho, and Lima,2Conte, and Costa,3and Castellanos, Pereiras, and Garcia,4the work of Robb and Steinberg5in 1938 first established a practical method for the contrast visualization of the right and left cardiac chambers and great blood vessels. The technic of injection is still generally employed in its original form. During the intervening 11 years, many modifications...Bibliography1. FORSSMAN W: Die Sondierung der rechten Herzens, Klin.
