[Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)].
In 1959, Dr. Mason Sones reported on selective coronary arteriography, a technique that quickly became the standard for precise diagnosis of coronary artery disease. In the early 1960s Drs. Dotter and Judkins introduced the original concept of using a catheter to dilate an atherosclerotic obstruction in a peripheral artery. Now, almost 2 decades later, the selective coronary catheter is being p...
متن کاملAssessment of patients skin dose undergoing coronary angiography and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
Background: Practice of interventional cardiology procedures such as Coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has largely increased in recent years and is now changing to a matter of routine in many hospitals. The purpose of this study was to measure skin and organ doses in patients undergoing CA and PTCA and to find a probable relation with c...
متن کاملTransluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
Forty–six patients (21 with stable angina and 25 with chronic myocardial infarction, 37 men) with a total chronic proximal coronary occlusion and collateral vessels to the distal part of the occluded artery (30 LAD, 10 RCA and 6 CX properly distributed in both groups) were studied angiographically before and 2 to 8 months (mean 6) after balloon angioplasty. The patients were divided in six subg...
متن کاملCardiac abscess following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
We report the first case of myocardial abscess directly related to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA). Infectious complications of PTCA are very rare and limited to a few cases of groin infection and septic endarteritis most often after repeated procedures. In our patient, a problematic and repeated procedure probably led to a direct colonization and subsequent infection of an intimal...
متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty following Kawasaki Disease.
Kawasaki disease (KD) can result in coronary artery disease in the form of ectasia, aneurysm and stenosis. The final complication can be myocardial infarction. We report a child who presented with severe left ventricular dysfunction following KD and was detected on angiography to have total left anterior descending artery occlusion. Angioplasty was done which resulted in improvement in the flow...
