Abstract
A previously described balloon tipped dilatation catheter was used during revascularization surgery to dilate lesions which potentially could limit the runoff of the saphenous bypass grafts. Lesions (34) were dilated in 25 patients. Restudy of 12 patients (15 lesions) demonstrated positive results and no clinically significant complications. An important role for transluminal coronary dilatation in the operative treatment of coronary artery disease is suggested.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
