  • Title: [Angina pectoris after coronary angioplasty. Restenosis or partial revascularization].
    Author: Vik-Mo H, Johannessen KA.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1992 Apr 30; 112(11):1433-5. PubMed ID: 1631814.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was performed on 115 consecutive patients with angina pectoris and the results were evaluated after an average of 100 days by means of bicycle exercise test and coronary angiography. Complete revascularization was achieved in 75% of the patients. Restenosis occurred in 23%. A good symptomatic effect was found in 90% of the patients with complete revascularization and in 72% of the patients with partial revascularization. Recurrence of angina pectoris 4-8 weeks after PTCA is a predictor of restenosis. Absence of angina and a negative bicycle exercise test 3-4 months after PTCA are strong predictors of the absence of restenosis.
