From ihe Klinikum der Johonn Woqgang Gorttie-Uni~.ersicii. Fronkjiiri. Germany The first percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedure was performed on September 16, 1977 by Andreas Griintzig in Ziirich. He did the second procedure together with our group in Frankfurt on October 16, 1977. Because the risk of the procedure was unknown at that time, Andreas Griintzig and I agreed to alternate the first procedures in order to split the risk. Fortunately, the surgeons Ake Senning in Zurich and Peter Satter in Frankfurt encouraged these attempts. In Frankfurt, emergency surgery was not necessary in the first 150 procedures that I performed together with Gisbert Kober. We had no lethal complications or infarctions, probably due to a very careful selection of patients with mainly type A lesions and single vessel disease. Success rate was 57%; luminal linear narrowing was decreased, on average, from 80% to 40%.'-' Coronary angioplasty was developed after several years of experience in peripheral artery disease. Griintzig had performed careful angiographic follow-up studies documenting good long-term results with patency rates of 60%-80%.4 The work of Griintzig was based on preceding achievements namely from Charles Dotter, Werner Porstmann, and Mason Sones.s-8 Extracted in part from an international symposium
