  • Title: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in patients with unstable angina.
    Author: Erbel R, Meyer J, Schmitz HJ, Kiesslich T, Effert S.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1983; 59 Suppl 3():22-5. PubMed ID: 6227879.
    Abstract:
    A comparison of clinical data has shown that percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty can be performed with equally good results in unstable and stable angina pectoris. Transluminal coronary angioplasty and coronary bypass surgery do not alter the natural progression of coronary atherosclerosis, but coronary angioplasty provides a real chance at least to postpone bypass graft surgery if not to provide lasting relief of angina.
