title: [Anesthesia for abdominal surgery after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)].
abstract: From December 1989 to October 1996, 1,318 PTCAs (percutaneous transluminal coronaly angioplasty) were performed for AMI (acute myocardial infarction) or postinfarction angina in our institute. Within 7 days to 71 days after successful PTCA, five patients who had been diagnosed as cholelithiasis or gastric cancer were operated under general anesthesia. Performed operations were cholecystectomy in the first patient, subtotal gastrectomy in the second, third and fourth patients, and total gastrectomy and cholecystectomy in the fifth patient. There was no serious cardiac complication during the operations and perioperative period. PTCA is considered to have decreased cardiac complications in patients with ischemic heart disease having undergone abdominal surgery.
