An unusual case with partial success of second percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) on restenosed
Japanese Circulation Journal
|October 1, 1985
Abstract:
An unusual case from our experience of 31 cases with PTCA is presented. In this 59-year-old male patient, partial success of a second PTCA on the restenosed lesion caused almost complete restoration of the coronary artery diameter to its previous size. However, a pressure gradient was still present, in contrast to the initial study where the pressure gradient had decreased satisfactorily. This type of observation is important and needs to be further evaluated.
