Coronary angioplasty: a therapeutic option for symptomatic patients with two and three vessel coronary disease.

摘要: Abstract Coronary angioplasty is a widely applied revascularization procedure for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. However, follow-up in this patient subgroup relatively limited. From 1983 to 1986, was performed 349 and 121 with, respectively, two- three-vessel disease primary success rate of 83 88%. The in-hospital mortality 2.8% (13 470 patients). Complete achieved 128 patients. Among the 397 successful outcome, 373 (94%) were followed up ≥ 1 year; 79% free death, nonfatal myocardial infarction or need bypass grafting, 82% had symptomatic improvement by at least one angina functional class. A second required 13% After mean period 27 months, an increased incidence grafting noted incomplete versus complete (16 7%, p In conclusion, can be high initial marked group's experience, majority selected will have that predicted before procedure. risk subsequent cardiac events over 2 years small but revascularization.
