Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty

Landau, Charles, Lange, Richard A., Hillis, L. David·1994·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

The nonsurgical treatment of arteries narrowed by atherosclerosis was introduced in 1964, when Dotter and Judkins performed transluminal angioplasty of femoral arterial stenoses1. In the 1970s, Gruntzig modified the dilation catheter to allow its use in coronary arteries,2 and in September 1977 he performed the first percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in a patient. PTCA has since been used in many patients with stable angina, unstable angina, or acute myocardial infarction. Its use was initially limited to the treatment of discrete stenoses in proximal segments of a coronary artery, but improvements in equipment and technique have led to its . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
