Abstract
Percutaneous translumi nal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) remains the predominant method of percutaneous revascularization in patients with suitable coronary anatomy. However, one of the lactors that limit its effecnveness is the occurrence of elastic recoil immediately after dilatation.
Elastic recoil has been defined as the obsered difference between the theoretical potential gain that can be achieved during angiopiasty and the true gain that is actually obtained.
In clinical practice, elastic recoil has been defined as the difference between mean balloon diameter and minimal luminal diameter after angioplasty.
Recoil has been recognized as responsible fo:: a significant loss of the potentially achievable luminal dirr,ension after successful angioplasty.
In the present study group of 50 patients with established diagnosis of ischemic heart disease and referred for P1’CA were studied by quantitative coronary angioaphy, before and immediately after angioplasty for the occurrence of immediate recoil, its magnitude and its predictors.
