title: [Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in the treatment of acute myocardial infarct].
abstract: A patient with acute myocardial infarction can undergo at present one of the following reperfusion therapies: 1. Primary PTCA (as an alternative to thrombolytic treatment), 2. Emergency PTCA (when thrombolysis fails), 3. Elective PTCA (in spontaneous or post-exercise myocardial ischaemia). 4. Empirical PTCA (as prophylaxis of recurrent myocardial ischaemia). The authors submit their initial experience with the use of PTCA in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. In a group of eight patients (5 men and 3 women), age 33-72 years (mean 51 years) where primary PTCA (5 patients) and emergency PTCA (3 patients) was used.
