title: [Transluminal coronary angioplasty combined with cardiomyoplasty in the treatment of coronary disease associated with dilated cardiomyopathy].
abstract: A 53-year-old white female candidate to cardiomyoplasty to control heart failure class III (NYHA). Submitted to coronary angioplasty, presented at the coronarography 75% obstruction of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and at the left ventriculography diffuse and severe hypocontractility ejection fraction (EF) = 17%. After primary success of the coronary dilatation, she was operated on with a good surgical outcome. Six months after the surgery, she did well clinically (class II) and at the coronarography the LAD artery presented free from restenosis or progression of the disease and the left ventriculography showed improvement of the ventricular function (EF = 28%).
