Abstract:
There were no data concerning restenosis rate after percutaneous transluminal coronary angio-plasty available in China so far. Our study was focused on clinical and angiographic follow-up and tried to reveal the predictive value for angiographic restenosis using noninvasive tests among 592 patients whose 841 coronary arteries were dilated in our department from Dec. 1987 to Dec. 1994.This patient group consisted of 503 males and 89 females had average age of 58. 4 ? 9. 1. The overall success rate was 93. 3% and acute vessel complications was 4. 1%. After successful procedures of PTCA,the patients were followed up with recurrence of angina, Holler ECG, submaximal excercise ECG and 99mTc-MIBI exercise scintigraphy regularly. 62 of these patients underwent coronary angiographic follow-up from 4-24 months (average time: 10. 4 ? 7. 6 months) after PTCA. We found 35 patients with angiographic restenosis and 27 patients without. Thus, we divided the patients into restenosis group and non-restenosis group according to the angiographic results. Subsequently, we oberserved whether the symptom and noninvasive tests were valuable in prediction of restenosis. The result showed that recurrence of angina, Holter ECG, submaximal exercise ECG and 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy were useful in detecting restenosis with their specificity and sensitivity 75.7% and 72.0%, 71. 4% and 86. 7%, 66. 7% and 73. 1% ,76. 5% and 83. 3 %, respectively. Moreover, If any two of above four ischemic indexes were combined together to detect restenosis,the specificity and sensitivity were significantly enhanced (85. 2% and 92. 9%). It is concluded that recurrence of angina and the noninvasive tests were valuable in predicting restenosis. The combination of these ischemic indexes would greatly improve their predictive value.
