title: [Complex coronary angioplasty. Report of 3 cases].
abstract: Although coronary angioplasty is currently applied to a wide variety of obstructive coronary artery lesions, its indications have been reduced to certain selected cases. We present three cases of complex coronary angioplasty: in the elderly patient, after bypass surgery, and multiple lesions in one vessel comment about different causes that justify its use. We conclude emphasizing that currently percutaneous coronary angioplasty is a secure and successful alternative of treatment even in complex cases, if they are properly selected.
