Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was readily accepted as an alternative therapeutic approach to the more invasive coronary artery bypass operation in treating patients with ischemic heart disease.

However, angioplasty has been considered inappropriate as a means of dilating old saphenous vein grafts. The first section of this article details the authors' experience with PTCA of prior CABG patients, and the second section discusses the results of PTCA in the subset of patients 5 or more years after their last coronary bypass surgery. These data may make individuals rethink the appropriateness of PTCA in old saphenous vein grafts.
