Estudio angiográfico precoz post angioplastia exitosa. Predictor de reestenosis alejada. / [Early angiographic study post successful angioplasty. Predictor of late restenosis]

ABSTRACT

Consecutive prospective coronary angiographies following 24 hours were studied to find early angiographic predictors of post-PTCA restenosis in the follow-up of 71 patients who had been dilated successfully. Conventional cine coronary and quantitative digital angiography was used to analyse the degree of obstruction previous to dilatation following 24 hours and 30 minutes after the procedure. Following 24 hours, angiographic findings showed Group A patients having the same lumen as at immediate post-PTCA time (65.9
