title: [Features of angioplasty and stenting in atherosclerotic stenting of coronary artery occlusions].
abstract: The authors analyze results of coronary angioplasty in 257 patients with ischemic heart disease who had occlusions of the coronary arteries. Clinical, angiographic and other findings showing the duration of having the occlusions of the coronary artery are described in detail. The details of the steps of the technique of the endovascular intervention are considered including the most difficult step--passing through the occluded portion of the artery. Great attention is given by the authors to the criteria of using the correct instruments (conducting catheter, conductors, balloon-catheters) during the operation. Good results were obtained in 80.2% of the patients after coronary angioplasty. Stenting of the coronary arteries was performed in 65 patients (25.3%).
