Key result
Emergency coronary artery bypass for PTCA complications resulted in an 85% survival rate and 90% freedom from subsequent catheterization or PTCA over an average 55-month follow-up.

Does emergency coronary artery bypass provide durable long-term outcomes in patients with complications of failed PTCA?
Emergency coronary artery bypass for complications of failed PTCA provides durable long-term outcomes with high rates of survival and freedom from subsequent revascularization or MI.
Joseph M. Ladowski (1996) conducted a cohort in complications of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) (n=112). Emergency coronary artery bypass was evaluated on survival rate. Emergency coronary artery bypass for PTCA complications resulted in an 85% survival rate and 90% freedom from subsequent catheterization or PTCA over an average 55-month follow-up.
