To do so, one hundred ninety patients scheduled for CA BG and PTCA operations were selected and administered relevant questionnaires a day before the surgery . Subsequently , the same patients filled out the same questionnaires two months following the procedure . Data analysis showed an increase in Qol while revealing a decline in men’s sexual functioning after the PT CA procedure although no change was observed in women . Also , an improvement in psychological status of all patients was observed following both revascularization procedures .
