title: [Use of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in treating acute myocardial infarct patients].
abstract: Transcutaneous transluminal coronary angioplastics was performed in 8 patients with acute myocardial infarction. In five patients dilatation of the coronary artery was carried out after intracoronary thrombolytic therapy and in the 3 others without the preliminary infusion of streptokinase. The method proved effective in 6 out of the 8 patients: the diameter of stenosis of the coronary artery decreased on the average from 70.4 +/- 3.9 to 23.5 +/- 12.9%, the area of stenosis reduced from 91.1 +/- 2.3 to 40.8 +/- 12.9%. Control angiography conducted in 4-5 weeks showed that in all five patients examined, the effect of the dilatation persisted. An improvement of the contractile function of the left ventricle was also observed.
