The authors report the case of a 52 year old patient with a significant stenosis of the medial portion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) with excellent left ventricular function. Transluminal coronary angioplasty (TCA) was indicated following a positive exercise stress test. This was initially performed successfully. Fifteen minutes after the end of the procedure, a total obstruction occurred at the site of dilatation immediately eliciting significant precordial chest pain and massive elevation of the ST segment. Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) at a dose of 2 mg was injected into the artery 3 times without success as was an attempt to pass through the obstruction with a guide wire. Another TCA was then attempted without administration of the thrombolytic agent. The dilating catheter passed easily by the obstruction permitting several dilatations which restored rapid coronary artery flow, relieved completely the chest pain, and normalized electrocardiographic abnormalities. This procedure represents a new therapeutic approach to obstruction, an often unpredictable and serious complication of coronary angioplasty in the absence of collateral circulation, thereby preventing the development of a myocardial infarction and an emergency aortocoronary bypass operation.
