Firirfjchallenge expected BOSTON (AP) A simple procedure that uses a balloon to reopen clogged coronary arteries could help about 15 percent of the patients who now require open-heart surgery to relieve chest pain, a study released today shows. Doctors who worked on the new technique hope it will become an alternative to coronary bypass surgery, now the most common form of major surgery in the United Staes.

So far, the researchers have tried the experimental method on 50 people, and 32 have been helped by it. iThe treatment, called "percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty," was used by doctors at University Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland. Their report was published in today's New England Journal of Medicine. The procedure is intended for people whose coronary arteries are so narrow that they slow the flow of blood to their hearts. The result is intense chest pain.

Before the procedure, the patients had only been able to perform about half the amount of work expected of people of similar height, weight and sex. Afterward, the researcher said, this incresed to 80 percent. The doctors estimated that 10 percent to 15 percent of the people who ordinarily would need coronary bypass operations could be treated with this method. The technique does not work if the patient's artery is twisted or calcified. "Although the procedure is relatively simple, it requires special experience," the doctors warned.

"Moreover, the potential complications are both serious and sudden, so that it is mandatory that a competent surgeon be available for emergency coronary artery bypass should it become necessary." They added that more study of the long-term outcome of the technique is necessary before it becomes routine practice. called angina. Severe cases are now treated with an operation in which the damaged artery is bypassed by a leg vein that is sewn into the heart. In the new procedure, doctors insert a tube into an artery in the patient's thigh and push it up to his heart There, the tube is used to place an empty balloon into the narrow artery. Then the balloon is blown up, expanding with it the clogged blood vessel.

After a few seconds, the balloon is deflated again and removed. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and the Swiss doctors said no one has died as as result of the treatment. Months after the treatment, the blood vessel usually becomes healthier and stays at its newly expanded size, the doctors reported. The patients' coronary arteries, which had been narrowed to an average of 16 percent of their normal size, were widened after the treatment to 66 percent of normal, they said.

In announcing Locke's firing, prison Commissioner Robert Britton said Locke was given the option of resigning but the veteran corrections official refused so he could challenge the action Locke served as prison commissioner from 1975 until last summer when he stepped down after a series of didsagree-ments with the state Board of Correction. He could challenge his dismissal before the state Personnel Board, since the associate commissioner post is a merit system job. Or, he could file suit in Circuit Court.
