title: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in unstable angina.
abstract: We performed percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in 33 highly selected patients of unstable angina, a majority of whom were initially stabilized by medical therapy. All these patients had single vessel disease with type A lesion. The initial success rate was 91% with recurrence of 17% at the end of 1 year.
