Abstract
Patients with intractable angina pectoris due to endβstage coronary artery disease who are not amenable to conventional revascularization provide a therapeutic challenge. We describe the first published case of a young patient with intractable coronary artery disease that was successfully treated by endocardial cryotherapy. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2003;60:229β232.

We report on a woman with severe peripheral vascular disease with unstable angina, in which access to the central circulation was not possible from a peripheral route. The translumbar approach was used for coronary angiography and a successful angioplasty of the left circumflex artery. c 19% Wlley-L
## Abstract Background: Abdominal aortic operations have the highest perioperative cardiac risk. To test the impact of preoperative coronary artery revascularization (PR) in this highβrisk subset, a __post hoc__ analysis was performed in patients undergoing aortic surgery within the Coronary Artery
