چکیده

During the period between October 1980 and December 1982, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of stenosed aortocoronary bypass grafts was attempted 44 times in 31 patients who had developed disabling angina pectoris four months to seven years after coronary bypass surgery. The primary success rate was 93%. Two (4-5%) patients developed myocardial infarction related to the procedure. No emergency aortocoronary bypass surgery was required and there was no mortality. Although the primary success rate was high, the incidence of recurrence after one or more angioplasties was 50%/o. Despite this recurrence rate the condition of 10 of the first 16 (62%) patients was clinically improved after a mean follow up of 26 months.

The value of myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc-99m MIBI for the prediction of perfusion improvement after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

  Introduction: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. Lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. Introduction of a noninvasive metho...

Intracranial angioplasty: experience and complications.

PURPOSE To review our experience with intracranial angioplasty, including the complications we encountered. METHODS During a 3-year period, from 1993 to 1996, 10 patients had intracranial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The stenosed vessels included three internal carotid arteries, one middle cerebral artery, one basilar artery, and five vertebral arteries. Stenosis in all patien...

Assessment 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...

Diastolic aortic pressure rise during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty: an index of left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the relation between diastolic aortic pressure response and left ventricular systolic dysfunction during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. BACKGROUND The abnormal diastolic blood pressure rise during exercise in patients with coronary artery disease probably reflects left ventricular systolic dysfunction rather than the number of stenosed coronary arter...

Balloon Angioplasty – The Legacy of Andreas Grüntzig, M.D. (1939–1985)

In 1974, at the Medical Policlinic of the University of Zürich, German-born physician-scientist Andreas Grüntzig (1939-1985) for the first time applied a balloon-tipped catheter to re-open a severely stenosed femoral artery, a procedure, which he initially called "percutaneous transluminal dilatation". Balloon angioplasty as a therapy of atherosclerotic vascular disease, for which Grüntzig and ...
