Exercise stress testing before and after successful multivessel percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Controversy exists regarding the diagnostic accuracy, optimal technique, and timing of exercise testing after percutaneous coronary intervention. The objectives of the present study were to analyze variables and the power of exercise testing to predict restenosis or a new lesion, 6 months after the procedure. Eight-four coronary multi-artery diseased patients with preserved ventricular function...
متن کاملEarly results after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in 400 patients.
In a consecutive series of 400 patients treated by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty 212 had single vessel disease, 142 had multivessel disease with only one vessel dilated, and 46 had multivessel dilatation. In addition sequential stenoses were dilated in the same vessel in all groups. There was no mortality among patients with single vessel disease. Success rates varied from 83% ...
متن کاملPathological findings after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Ten serial pathological cross sections at 1 mm intervals of both the left anterior descending artery at the site of a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and of the circumflex artery in the untreated stenotic area were studied at necropsy in a patient who died immediately after the procedure. The extent of calcification and atheroma were similar in both branches. Intimal or medial sp...
متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a nonoperative mechanical dilatation of atherosclerotic coronary artery stenosis by a balloon-tipped dilating catheter system. This method can effectively reduce highly stenotic coronary lesions and provide early recovery of ischemic but viable myocardium. The technique of transluminal angioplasty was originally devised by Dotter and Judk...
