Abstract:

Reopening of chronically occluded coronary arteries by angioplasty, initially considered a low risk procedure, may carry similar risks at PTCA of coronary stenoses. We report 3 cases with ventricular fibrillation or sudden death 2-4 days after reopening of 1- to 5-month-old coronary occlusions.
