[Repeat percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in coronary artery restenosis].
Early experience with repeat transcutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (TTCA) in 9 coronary patients is reviewed. The interval between the first and the repeat TTCA varied between 1 and 12 months averaging 4.9 +/- 4.7 months. Repeat dilatation of the anterior interventricular branch was performed in 7 patients, that of the right coronary artery, in 1, and that of the circumflex artery, in 1. All repeat operations were successful. Changes in the degree of stenosis and the mean arterial blood pressure gradient were actually similar in both dilatations.
