| Abstract: | Digital video coronary arteriography (DVCA) was used in 59 cases of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and found to be useful for (1) display of imagery to facilitate choice of approach to a setnotic lesion; (2) providing a “road map,” simplifying guide wire manipulation and selective catheterization of vessels during PTCA; and (3) archival of pre- and post-PTCA images. Use of DVCA for real-time display inside the catheterization laboratory expedites the successful performance of PTCA and is a convenient means of image archival. |
