title: Accelerated coronary artery stenosis at a site proximal to coronary angioplasty.
abstract: Rapid progression of coronary stenosis has been described in patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), typically resulting in symptomatic angina 3 to 30 months postprocedure. We report a case of accelerated coronary stenosis in the instrumented vessel resulting in angina 3 days post-PTCA.
