[Multifocal percutaneous transluminal coronary and aortic angioplasty. Apropos of a case]

The authors report a case of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty performed successfully in 2 stages on the right coronary artery and the abdominal aorta in a woman with a post-infarction angina and intermittent claudication. The invasive and non-invasive control investigations at 6 and 18 months after coronary dilatation confirmed good clinical results and the stability of the excellent result of the immediate postoperative angiographic control. As for the aortic dilation, the persistent functional improvement nearly 2 years later was sufficient evidence of the success of the procedure.
