We report on the incidence of adverse cardiac events in 350 patients who underwent
noncardiac surgery within 2 months of successful balloon angioplasty (BA) at our institution …

Objective.—To assess the predictability of need for emergency surgery after coronary
balloon angioplasty. Design.—Nonrandomized intervention study. Setting.—Nonprofit …

Aims This study reports the clinical outcome, up to 17 years, of the first 856 consecutive
patients treated by coronary angioplasty at a single centre and attempts to identify a …

In a small number of patients, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) fails to relieve anginal
symptoms. The usefulness of coronary angioplasty for the treatment of early (≤ 90 days) …

OBJECTIVES We sought to compare patient outcomes for coronary stent placement and
balloon angioplasty. BACKGROUND Since 1994, the number of patients treated only with …

Major, adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, bypass surgery and
reintervention) occur in 4 to 7% of all patients undergoing coronary balloon angioplasty …

From 1980 through 1990, 9,145 patients had balloon angioplasty with failure of the
procedure requiring emergent surgical revascularization within 24 hours occurring in 253 …
