title: Unpredictable cause of early recurrence of angina pectoris after successful double coronary angioplasty.
abstract: Early recurrence of symptoms after successful coronary angioplasty is usually due to restenosis of the angioplasty site. Multilesion progression of atherosclerosis in the presence of patent prior dilated segments has not, to our knowledge, been reported as a cause of early recurrent angina after successful double coronary angioplasty. As both new lesions were also successfully dilated, this case demonstrates that multivessel coronary angioplasty is a repeatedly effective and patient-friendly procedure to treat symptomatic coronary atherosclerosis with rapid and unpredictable rate of progression.
