Abstract
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a complex procedure that requires appropriate laboratory facilities and special training of the team who performs it. Although PTCA is performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory with techniques similar to those used in routine diagnostic cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography, it is far more complex, requiring skills and knowledge beyond those necessary for conventional diagnostic procedures [1].
