[Preoperative treatment of severe coronary stenosis with the balloon catheter in patients with operable carcinomas (author's transl)].
Two patients with severe angina pectoris during minimal physical exercise and angiologically proven severe coronary stenosis also had a surgically operable carcinoma of the bronchus and stomach, respectively. Extensive operation for carcinoma would have been a serious cardiological risk. A preceding aortocoronary bypass operation would have been an additional stress as well as a delay of surgery by several weeks. Using percutaneous transluminal coronary dilatation it was possible to remove severe and isolated coronary stenoses rapidly and with little effort. Both survived carcinoma operations a few days later without trouble.
