Incidence and predictors of target vessel revascularization following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty: a report from the national heart, lung, and blood institute percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty registry

We sought to determine the rate of target vessel revascularization (TVR) after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and to determine factors that predispose to its occurrence. The 10-year outcome of 2,262 patients in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute PTCA Registry was an...

Zusammenfassung:We sought to determine the rate of target vessel revascularization (TVR) after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and to determine factors that predispose to its occurrence. The 10-year outcome of 2,262 patients in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute PTCA Registry was analyzed to determine the incidence and characterize predictors of TVR. TVR was performed in 30.4% of patients. Male gender (relative risk [RR] 1.26; p
