Radiological aspects of arteriosclerosis: follow-up study of 588 patients in two different groups.
The authors retrospectively compared two groups of patients who had undergone angiography over a twenty-one-year period. The first group consisted of 348 patients who had angiography in the years 1965-1967. The second group was made up of 222 patients who had had angioplasty in the years 1975-1986. Special risk factors such as diabetes and nicotine abuse were singled out together with localization of lesions and gender distribution.
