✦ Synopsis

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has become an accepted and widely used therapeutic intervention that is being performed in increasing numbers of cardiac angiographic laboratories. It is appropriate to have rather stringent criteria for approval of privileges for the performance of this highly technical therapeutic procedure that is not without significant risk. A subcommittee of the Laboratory Performance Standards Committee was appointed to develop guidelines for physician performance of PTCA. These guidelines, outlining criteria for approval of professional staff for performance of this procedure, were recommended to the Board of Trustees by the Laboratory Performance Standards Committee and were adopted by the Board at their May 25, 1984, meeting.

Restenosis following coronary angioplasty can usually be treated effectively and safely by repeated angioplasty. However, the presence of a complex lesion morphology may bias the clinician away from angioplasty toward either recommending bypass surgery or continuing medical therapy alone in spite of

Coronary angioplasty of tortuous anomalous coronary arteries can be technically challenging. We describe a successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of an anomalous right coronary artery after a failed previous attempt. The anatomic limitations of anomolous right coronary arte
