title: [Evaluation of 100 attempted percutaneous coronary angioplasties in the treatment of coronary insufficiency].
abstract: Between November 1983 and June 1985, 100 coronary angioplasties were performed in the department of cardiology of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital, in 96 patients and 101 vessels. 71 attempts were successful (70%). There were no deaths. 8 bypass grafts were performed because of a symptomatic occlusive dissection in 3 cases, arterial trauma proximal to the stenosis in 2 cases and coronary artery thrombosis following a failed attempt at dilatation in 3 cases. There were 3 infarcts. The success rate improved from 56 per cent in the first 25 patients to 77 per cent in the last 25 patients. The success rate was maximal in patients with stenosis of the IVA, where it was as high as 90 per cent in the last 50 patients. In this last series, the success rate was identical in cases of stable and unstable angina. The rate of re-stenosis was low: 12 per cent in patients with a follow-up of at least 6 months.
