<div>Near infrared myocardial ICG perfusion images and time-ICG absorbance value curves during NNBP and NHCA. (a) LV myocardium of NNBP became red more rapidly and intensively in comparison with NHCA. (b) ICG absorbance peak value of LAD region was moderately lower in NNBP than in NHCA. (c) ICG absorbance peak value of LV myocardium was significantly higher in NNBP than in NHCA. NNBP squeezed intracoronary blood flow more to enter myocardial capillaries relative to NHCA.</div>
