Abstract

Restenosis, simply defined, is a new lumen narrowing at the site of a previous vascular reconstruction. Restenosis has been a major limitation of surgical and endovascular reconstructions since their inception, and while decades of research have yielded vastly improved results for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), strategies to eliminate restenosis remain elusive. Increased application of endovascular therapy to extra-coronary beds has been met with sobering rates of late failures. This persistence of the problem reflects our incomplete understanding of its complex pathogenesis, and further research and novel approaches to prevention are needed before the full potential of our interventions can be realized.
