The authors report on the longterm follow-up after PTCA in 130/165 (79%) patients seen approximately 3 years after angioplasty. Primary success rate in the years 1980-84 was 79%. Emergency bypass surgery was necessary in 7%. In-hospital mortality was 0%. Recurrences of angina were seen in the first 6 months in 18 and after 1 year in 3 patients. 13 of 18 had a recurrence of the dilated lesion (10%). At 3 years there had been 4 cardiac deaths, 76% were asymptomatic, 8% were improved and 83% were working full time.
