TCT-183 Repeat Coronary Angiography in Patients with Previously Normal Coronary Arteries

Patients with normal coronaries had significant better survival than patients with minor CAD (p99.5% in both groups at the median of 5 years follow up. (p=0.09) Conclusions Normal coronary angiography and minor CAD is unlikely to progress to significant disease at 7 years and the incidence of MI in...

Description
Summary:Patients with normal coronaries had significant better survival than patients with minor CAD (p99.5% in both groups at the median of 5 years follow up. (p=0.09) Conclusions Normal coronary angiography and minor CAD is unlikely to progress to significant disease at 7 years and the incidence of MI in these patients is rare at 5 years. [...]repeating coronary angiography within at least 5 years is not indicated.
