Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1988
The relief of coronary obstruction by surgical grafting was the first effective treatment to be directed at the cause of ischemic heart disease. PTCA represents the second major step in relieving coronary stenosis. It seems timely to review where this second step has led in order to understand how percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA ...

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1998
Fibrinolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction, even with the most efficient regimens available, is fraught with a substantial proportion of failures to reopen the occluded vessel. The term rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has been introduced to describe an attempt to mechanically recanalize the infarct vessel if ...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

The Tokai journal of experimental and clinical medicine, 1987
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.
