title: [Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in patients with recurrent angina following aorto-coronary bypass].
abstract: Twenty patients presenting with angina pectoris after coronary bypass surgery underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Twenty-six PTCA were carried out, 15 on stenosed bypasses, 10 on stenosed coronary arteries and 1 on an occluded bypass. PTCA results were very good in 85% of cases and satisfactory in another 10%. Clinically, 90% of patients improved. In view of these data, PTCA should be considered a viable alternative to surgical reintervention.
