ABSTRACT:
A method of treating cardiac conduction defects and/or congestive heart disease. The method involves identifying the branch arteries that feed blood to the specialized cardiac conduction cells of the heart and/or to any ischemic regions of the heart. Any occlusions in these arteries are then opened using conventional PTCA devices and procedures which, prior to the present invention, have not been used to treat occlusions in the branch arteries that supply blood to the heart.
