Abstract

Every patient undergoing percutaneous revascularization is at risk for developing coronary restenosis. Six months after the initial procedure, recurrence of the luminal narrowing at the site of intervention occurs in up to 35% of cases after conventional balloon angioplasty (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PTCA]) and 19% after stenting using bare-metal stents (1).
