Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Dotter and Judkins (1) in 1964 reported the use of coaxial dilating catheters in remodeling the lumen of obstructed peripheral arteries. In Zurich in 1977 Griintzig (2) reported the first transcutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty using a system for mechanically dilating a stenosed epicar• dial artery.
