Abstract

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was performed successfully in two patients with angina pectoris who had two separate significant stenotic lesions in a coronary artery. One patient had stenoses in segments 6 and 7 of the left anterior descending coronary artery. After PTCA, angina disappeared, an exercise ECG became negative and a ^<201>Tl myocardial scintigram returned to normal. In the other patient, two separate stenotic lesions were found in segment 3 of the RCA. Angina and an exercise ECG improved after PTCA. These results suggests the validity of PTCA for multiple stenotic lesions in the same coronary artery.
