Abstract

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was first performed by Grüntzig in 1977 [1]. In the last decade it has proved to be an effective method of revascularising the myocardium in selected patients with coronary artery disease. Initially performed mainly in patients with single vessel coronary disease, it is now used in multivessel disease, bypass graft stenoses, and total coronary artery occlusions.
