These performances indicate that today's race will once again be won by whichever squad has better depth. The Indians' Steve Shirley is the fourth man, and he should be somewhere near the front. But their fifth man, captain Parke Rublee, tends to finish far behind Shirey. This gap may be where Harvard scores heavily...
...Dartmouth meet this Friday is likely to be another tough one. The Indians have three strong runners in Eric Potter, Steve Shirey, and Pete Dinnon. Potter has won most of Dartmouth's races, and Hunt feels he is as good as anyone that Harvard has on its freshman team...
Simple Dexterity. Prime element in he Sones-Shirey method is the catheter, a snakelike, 31-in. tube that tapers in diameter from 3.2 mm. down to 1.6 mm. at its tip. The catheter is first inserted in the patient's brachial artery, inside the elbow of the right arm, and maneuvered up the arm into the chest, until its passage is stopped by the aortic valve, directly above the heart. Except for a dull ache in the elbow (local anesthesia is administered) the operation is painless Because the arterial nerves are insensitive to the catheter's presence...
Monitoring the operation through an image intensifier-a refined fluoroscope that produces an X-ray image 1,500 times Drighter than the old-style fluoroscopic screen-Drs. Sones and Shirey then release a tiny amount of radiopaque dye through the catheter into the aorta in order to locate the spot at which right and left coronary arteries join the circulation's main stem. "The rest," says Sones, 'requires only a little bit of simple dexterity." The catheter is successively slipped into both coronary arteries, and small injections of dye (2 cc. to 5 cc.) are sufficient to silhouette...
...Sones admits that his technique involves some risk. Although the catheter is less than half as thick as an average coronary artery, it can still obstruct the flow of blood into the heart. Throughout the operation, Drs. Sones and Shirey monitor the pressure of the blood against the catheter's tip. Explains Sones: "If the pressure starts to flatten out, we know the tip has obstructed the artery or one of its branches. Then we have from ten to 30 seconds to get it out before the heart is starved for blood and the patient has a heart attack...
