Objective.-To determine the appropriateness of use of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in New York State.Design.-Retrospective randomized medical record.Setting.-Fifteen randomly selected hospitals in New York State that provide PTCA.Patients.-Random sample of 1306 patients undergoing PTCA in New York State in 1990.Main Outcome Measures.-Percentage of patients who underwent PTCA for indications rated appropriate, uncertain, and inappropriate.Results.-The majority of patients received PTCA for chronic stable angina, unstable angina, and in the post-myocardial infarction period (up to 3 weeks). Fifty-eight percent of PTCAs were rated appropriate; 38%, uncertain; and 4%, inappropriate. The inappropriate rate varied by hospital from 1% to 9% (P=.12); the uncertain rate, from 26% to 50% (P=.02); and the combined inappropriate and uncertain rate, from 29% to 57% (P
