Coronary Angioplasty: A Controlled Model for Ischemia

Since the introduction of coronary angioplasty in 1977, this procedure has gained a steadily increasing position in the treatment of coronary artery obstmction. From the available evidence it can be estimated, that this thera­ peutic tool will get even more additional momentum of many ten-thousands...
