Complex coronary angioplasty: multiple coronary dilatations.

G Dorros, S H Stertzer, M J Cowley

    The American Journal of Cardiology
    |June 15, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for multiple stenoses is feasible and effective. This study shows good success rates and acceptable complication rates for multiple dilatations in coronary artery disease (CAD).

    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Cardiovascular Disease Research

    Background:

    • Coronary artery disease (CAD) often involves multiple stenoses.
    • Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a common treatment for stenotic lesions.
    • The efficacy and safety of multiple PTCA dilatations require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and success rates of multiple PTCA procedures.
    • To assess complication rates associated with multiple dilatations.
    • To determine the clinical outcomes and recurrence rates after multiple PTCA.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 309 patients undergoing 685 PTCA procedures for multiple stenoses.
    • Procedures involved arterial and vein graft stenoses, single or multiple vessels.

  • Success defined by complete lesion dilation or dilation of critical stenosis with clinical improvement.

    • Main Results:

    • Angiographic success achieved in 87.4% of lesions and 92.2% of patients.
    • Complications included 1.0% mortality, 4.2% myocardial infarction (MI) per patient, and 3.6% emergency CABG.
    • Sustained clinical improvement in 85.4% of patients; 20.4% recurrence, with 92.5% success in repeat angioplasty.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple PTCA dilatations are feasible for treating complex coronary artery disease.
    • The procedure demonstrates good angiographic success and acceptable complication rates.
    • Further research is needed to define the optimal role of extended PTCA applications in CAD therapy.
