Progression to Complete Coronary Obstruction Without Myocardial Infarction in Patients Who Are Candidates for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty: A 90-Day Angiographic Follow-Up

  • Conference paper
Prognosis of Coronary Heart Disease Progression of Coronary Arteriosclerosis

Abstract

From September 1980 to September 1982, 153 patients were chosen as good candidates for elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). All had disabling but stable angina pectoris and proximal stenosis of a major coronary artery suitable for balloon dilation.
