Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in unstable and stable angina pectoris: a comparison of immediate success and complications.

abstract：:In 50 patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty because of chronic angina pectoris, a collateral flow index (CFI) was determined at the start and the end of two 1-min coronary occlusions, randomly accompanied by a resting state or a 3-min dynamic handgrip exercise (DHE). CFI expressing collate...
