Preliminary experiences with intervention techniques for coronary artery disease.
Some aspects of new intervention techniques being used rather successfully at the Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven are discussed. These techniques include percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in coronary artery stenosis as well as in bypass graft occlusion. Attention is given to the role of the radiologist in these procedures. Streptokinase infusion therapy both for total occlusion of coronary artery and bypass graft will be discussed.
