Provides details of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) as performed in Australia in 1995. It is the only national compilation of information on all PTCA procedures performed in that year and is based on data supplied directly by cardiology units. The report provides information on patterns and trends in the use of the technique, its indications, complications and success rates, and monitors the uptake of stenting, atherectomy and laser angioplasty.
