title: [Percutaneous coronary angioplasty in chronic coronary disease with single and multiple obstructed vessels (analysis of 315 interventions 1978-1988)].
abstract: 315 percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasties performed during 1978-1988 in 261 patients with ischemic heart disease were analyzed for three different variants according to primary effectiveness, failure rate the most frequent complications and costs of materials as well as duration of intervention and fluoroscopy. Only variant 3 of the proceeding (soft-tip-applicators, flat profile balloon catheter, Kaltenbach long-wire technique, streptokinase rinsing of instruments, permanent infusion of instruments during the procedure) is an applicable routine method. It has a primary effectiveness of 86%. For multiple vessel PTCA this variant however resulted in significantly prolonged investigation and fluoroscopy intervals, so it is advisable only for selected groups of patients.
