Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has revolutionized the treatment of patients with coronary disease. As many as 25 per cent of those requiring myocardial revascularization can now undergo PTCA instead of bypass surgery. This article reviews PTCA techniques, clinical results, case selection, complications, recent advances in equipment design, restenosis rate, use in acute myocardial infarction, and PTCA of coronary bypass grafts.
经皮腔内冠状动脉成形术（PTCA）彻底改变了冠心病患者的治疗方式。现在，多达25%需要心肌血运重建的患者可以接受PTCA而非搭桥手术。本文回顾了PTCA技术、临床结果、病例选择、并发症、设备设计的最新进展、再狭窄率、在急性心肌梗死中的应用以及冠状动脉搭桥移植血管的PTCA。
