Abstract
Three cases of restenosis after directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) presented with unstable angina and then myocardial infarction. Two of them were complicated with malignant ventricular dysrhythmia. A total or subtotal thrombotic occlusion at the DCA site was shown, This fulm inating course of restenosis could partially explain the higher late c ardiac morbidity and mortality after DCA than after percutaneous trans luminal balloon angioplasty.
