title: [Peroperative dilatation of coronary arteries. 12 cases].
abstract: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was invented by Dotter in 1964 and perfected by Gruntzig who introduced inflatable balloon catheters. The authors have used this technique successfully in 12 patients to dilate coronary arteries during aorto-coronary bypass or aortic valve replacement and feel encouraged to use it in further series. On the basis of their experience, they formulate precise indications for peroperative dilatation of the coronary arteries.
