## 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 2β4 days after reopening of 1β to 5βmonthβold coronary occ
Percutaneous intervention in patients with intracoronary thrombus continues to pose a significant clinical challenge. In this report, we describe the successful treatment of a 44-year-old patient with an extensive chronic thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery using a rheolytic thrombecto
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
