Early results after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients with unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction were compared with those in patients with stable angina. The primary success rate in 115 patients with unstable angina was 72%, in 73 with acute myocardial infarction 78%, and in 213 with stable angina 79%, i.e. there was no difference between the three groups. In patients with acute myocardial infarction and primary successful PTCA control angiography was performed one month after PTCA, in patients with unstable and stable angina 6 months after PTCA. Angiographic findings were identical in the three groups. But the results after successful balloon dilatation were dependent on the extent of primary success: in all three groups, patients in whom the post-dilatation control angiography revealed recurrence of stenosis the primary results were worse than in those without. There was no difference between those patients with lasting success and those with recurrence as regards cholesterol level, arterial hypertension, diabetes, and smoking habits. It is concluded that in every patient with acute symptoms of coronary heart disease the indication for PTCA should be considered.
