Update on percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and CABG
Aust Fam Physician.
1990 Jul.
Abstract
Over the past decade percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have undergone substantial changes. The growth of PTCA has been phenomenal and it now accounts for about 50 per cent of revascularisation procedures at Royal Perth Hospital. Coronary surgery has undergone less growth, but it is now being successfully used in a much more elderly and high risk group of patients without an increase in mortality.
