Overview

May support PTCA feasibility in select cases; leaves open durability questions without controlled data.

Structured PICO

What are the angiographic success and complication rates of PTCA in patients with coronary stenosis?

P
Population
248 patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) over a six-year period (1982–1987)
I
Intervention
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) (297 procedures on 282 vessels)
O
Outcome
Angiographic successsurrogate

PTCA is a relatively safe procedure with an initial angiographic success rate of nearly 90%, though restenosis occurs in approximately one-third of patients.
