Abstract

Since its introduction(1) in 1977, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has become accepted as a safe and effective alternative to medical therapy for the treatment of limited coronary artery disease(2), as well as an alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for the treatment of more extensive coronary atherosclerosis(3, 4). The success of PTCA as a method of coronary revascularization has contributed to its explosive growth, with approximately 500,000 procedures performed per year in the United States.
