Abstract

56 patients with more than one stenotic coronary artery were treated by complex PTCA with success rate of 96.4%. Complications occurred in 3.6% of pts. Restenoses were found in 9.4% of pts; only one of the dilated arteries were restenosed. 11.3% of pts had repeated PTCA, because of progression of stenosis in other than previously treated artery. Angina occurred earlier in pts with restenoses than in pts with progression of stenoses. Late efficacy (mean 19 months) of complex PTCA was high (90.7%).
