Clinical success after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty failure for unstable angina. 1985

M J Kern, and N J Lembo

We report a patient who had an asymptomatic total occlusion of a left anterior descending coronary artery after PTCA for unstable angina. A clinical success with a negative maximal exercise test and absence of symptoms after PTCA can not be presumed to correlate with coronary patency.
