Transluminal coronary angioplasty immediately after intracoronary streptolysis in acute myocardial infarction.
Transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed in 21 of 64 patients with acute myocardial infarction treated initially with intracoronary streptolysis. Successful reduction of the coronary stenosis was achieved in 17 cases. Six months later 11 of 12 of these patients studied by coronary arteriography still had patent areas of previous coronary stenosis.
