RESUMO

Over a 3-year period, we performed 232 consecutive percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures in 171 patients, 132 (77%) of whom were men and 39 (23%) of whom were women. The patients' ages ranged from 26 to 85 years (average, 56.5 years). All of the patients had symptoms of coronary insufficiency, manifested by stable angina in 106 cases, unstable angina in 44 cases, post myocardial infarction angina in 19 cases, arrhythmia in 1 case, and syncope in 1 case.
