Abstract

Reopening of chronically occluded coronary arteries by angioplasty, initially considered a low risk procedure, may carry similar risks at PTCA of coronary stenoses. We report 3 cases with ventricular fibrillation or sudden death 2–4 days after reopening of 1‐ to 5‐month‐old coronary occlusions.

Between August, 1993-December, 1994, recanalization of a chronically occluded coronary artery was attempted in 412 patients, with an overall success rate of 77%. The main reason for failure was subintimal tracking of the guide wire. However, in 13 patients, advancing the guide wire was not possible
