Abstract
Cardiopulmonary support is utilized to provide optimal hemodynamic stability in high risk patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. This report describes a patient undergoing supported angioplasty in whom multiple new severe stenoses were noted following coronary dilation and that were completely reversed by discontinuing cardiopulmonary support.
