Is percutaneous transluminal angioplasty from a femoral approach successful in treating stenosis involving internal mammary artery bypass grafts?
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty via a femoral approach is a feasible and effective technique for treating stenosis in internal mammary artery bypass grafts.
Pinkerton et al. (1987) conducted an observational in Ischemic heart disease with stenosis in internal mammary artery bypass grafts (n=10). Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty via femoral approach was evaluated on Successful angioplasty. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty from a femoral approach successfully treated 90% (9 of 10) of patients with stenosis involving internal mammary artery bypass grafts.
