Abstract

The first Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) in a patient was performed by Andreas Grüntzig in Zurich in September 1977 [1]. PTCA was initially limited to the treatment of discrete stenosis in proximal segments of a coronary artery. Improvements in equipment and technique have increased the success rate and have lead to its use in patients with complex stenosis or high-risk clinical situations such as unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction [2, 3], or cardiac arrest [4]. PTCA is currently the most widely used coronary revascularization technique and over 1,000,000 procedures were performed worldwide in 1996 [5].
