Coronary angioplasty supplemented by implantation of a stent has become a standard therapeutic method in patients with stable angina pectoris. The authors analyzed the spectrum of patients indicated for this treatment, its successfulness and complications of catheterizations. In the course of a two-year period the authors implemented 662 catheterizations in 602 patients with stable angina. 58% patients indicated for coronary angioplasty on account of stable angina had a history of myocardial Q infarction, 93% had angina grade II or III according to CCS. Affection of one artery was diagnosed in 56% patients, complete revascularization was achieved in 59% of the operations. The clinical rate of success of catheterization was 97% in stenoses of the coronary arteries and 61% in coronary occlusions. In 57% of the treated lesions a coronary stent was implanted. Serious clinical complications developed in 1% of the interventions, none of the patients died. Catheterization treatment of stable angina is very successful and safe.
