[Recanalization by percutaneous coronary intervention in occlusion of all coronary vessels].
The utility of coronary intervention in the treatment of multivessel coronary disease with complex morphology and damage to the myocardium remains controversial. What is certain is that drug treatment is often not adequate and surgical revascularization not always possible. A patient with occlusion of all coronary vessels who underwent a multivessel intervention is presented. Multivessel intervention can improve the left ventricular function and appreciably increase the performance of the patient. In similar cases, consideration should be given to percutaneous coronary intervention as an alternative to bypass surgery.
