摘要:
From 1980 to 1985, 1,179 patients underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for the first time. Of these, 92 (7.8%) underwent a second PTCA, 25 (2.1%) a third, and 5 (0.4%) a fourth PTCA of the same vessel and site of the initial stenosis. Success rates for these groups were 78%, 87%, 88%, and 100%, respectively. The left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was involved in 14 (56%), the right coronary artery (RCA) in 9 (36%), and the circumflex coronary artery (CX) in 2 (8%). There were no deaths or emergency surgery due to the third and fourth PTCA. Follow‐up after the last PTCA indicated symptomatic relief and an improvement in Canadian Cardiovascular Society functional class (CAHA) along with an increase in the exercise time on a standard Bruce stress test. We conclude that a third or fourth PTCA provides a safe and effective therapy for recurrent stenosi
