title: [Efficacy of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty for cardiac event after coronary bypass surgery].
abstract: In 31 cases with previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, 46 percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) attempts were performed, including 21 angioplasty in vein grafts (success rate 95.7%). Overall success rate was 87.0%. No major complication occurred, but one reperfusion arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia) in a case of AMI. PTCA was so effective and useful for cardiac events in cases with previous CABG surgery with low risk and minor complication.
