| Popis: | We report a case of failed coronary angioplasty requiring urgent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The return of angina pectoris early after surgery led to repeat catheterization, demonstrating a rapidly progressive stenosis of the left main coronary artery. This was treated successfully with coronary angioplasty. In patients with recurrent angina early after bypass surgery in whom angioplasty preceded surgery, acceleration of left main disease should be considered. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
