Percutaneous Transluminal coronary angioplasty [PDF]
The incidence of prior percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in surgical cases is nearly doubling yearly. In 1985, 11.4% of our bypass patients had one or more prior angioplasties. One hundred thirty-five patients with prior angioplasty are compared to 2,205 patients without angioplasty undergoing surgical revascularization. The mortality is 3.

Full feature selection for estimating KAP radiation dose in coronary angiographies and percutaneous coronary interventions [PDF]
In interventional cardiology (IC) the radiation dose variation is very significant, and its estimation has been difficult due to the complexity of the treatments. In order to tackle this problem, the aim of this study was to identify the most important demographic and clinical features to estimate Kerma-Area Product (KAP) radiation dose in coronary ...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PDF]
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, first performed in man in 1977, has been used increasingly in selected patients with angina pectoris due to coronary atherosclerosis. Patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease in whom the stenosis is relatively proximal, noncalcified, discrete, and tapered rather than eccentric are the best ...

Rupture of the arterial wall causes deflection in pressure time course during ex vivo balloon angioplasty [PDF]
A relation between restenosis and arterial lesions resulting from balloon angioplasty has been suggested in literature. Nevertheless, it is unclear to what extent angioplasty-induced arterial wall lesions contribute to the occurrence of restenosis.

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) successfully applied a balloon-tipped catheter to re-open a severely stenosed femoral artery, a procedure which he initially ...

Diplopia After Coronary Revascularization
Percutaneous coronary intervention is a coronary revascularization procedure that may rarely result in thromboembolic events. Although infrequent, ophthalmological complications of percutaneous interventions include a wide range of clinical presentations,
