Coronary Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1979Excerpt Last summer the popular news media, ever eager for a "breakthrough," gave a good bit of space and time to a new approach to the treatment of coronary heart disease, coronary percutaneous tr...

Rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1998Fibrinolytic 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 in the Elderly
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1996Selected elderly patients, even the very elderly, can undergo percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with a high expected rate of procedural success; however, procedural mortality is higher than in younger patients and, although long-term survival is very good, long-term relief of angina is less reliable.

Update on Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
Cardiology Clinics, 1988Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was first performed in a human coronary artery in 1977. In this article, we review the possible mechanisms of angioplasty, current indications for angioplasty, and complications of angioplasty including acute closure and restenosis.

Restenosis after Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
Acta Radiologica, 1992Restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was demonstrated in 61 (29%) of 210 successfully treated patients. Mostly it occurred within 4 months after treatment and in arteries less than 3 mm in diameter. Careful clinical follow-up is therefore particularly important early after angioplasty of smaller arteries.

Ridogrel in the setting of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1991The safety of the combination of heparin and ridogrel therapy and its antiplatelet efficacy was examined in the setting of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). In 32 patients without known aspirin intake for 10 days before PTCA, therapy with ridogrel (300-mg intravenous bolus) was begun just before PTCA and continued orally at a dose ...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in silent ischemia
American Heart Journal, 1990The short- and long-term outcome of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty were analyzed in 34 patients who had documented coronary artery disease without symptoms. Of the 34 patients, 33 had abnormal stress tests before angioplasty. Angioplasty was successful in 31 patients (91%).
