Coronary artery disease is a common complication of cardiac transplantation threatening long-term survival and its management is not well defined. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty has been proposed as a palliative and exceptional technique in some patients with limited lesions. Of 145 patients undergoing cardiac transplantation between April 1983 and January 1994, 7 underwent 10 coronary angioplasty procedures. The majority was performed in asymptomatic patients, 4 for angigraphic abnormalities alone and 3 for documented painless ischaemia. Primary angiographic success was obtained in 90% (9 out of 10) of lesions. Complication included one acute occlusion and one arteriovenous fistula. Three patients died, 1, 8 and 10 months after angioplasty. After an average of 24 months' follow-up, 3 (out of 7) patients had no cardiac events (myocardial infarction, second angioplasty, second transplantation or death). A multicentre prospective controlled trial is necessary to assess the impact of this procedure on graft and patient survival.
