Subacute bilateral coronary ostial stenoses following cardiac catheterization and ptca
Key result
RCA PTCA linked to rare subacute bilateral coronary ostial stenoses presenting with worsening angina.
- n=1
Why the study?
Accelerated coronary ostial stenosis is an infrequent late complication after coronary artery catheter instrumentation, with limited reported cases following cardiac catheterization and PTCA.

Cite This Study
Wilson et al. (1991) conducted a case report in Bilateral coronary artery ostial stenoses (n=1). Cardiac catheterization and right coronary artery PTCA was evaluated on Development of bilateral coronary artery ostial stenoses. Cardiac catheterization and right coronary artery PTCA can lead to the rare complication of subacute bilateral coronary ostial stenoses, which should be considered in patients with worsening angina.
