Restenosis and Remodeling: Is the Adventitia Involved?

  • Chapter
Book cover Arterial Remodeling: A Critical Factor in Restenosis

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 198))

Abstract

Vascular remodeling has assumed great importance as a cause of coronary restenosis. Yet understanding of this complex phenomenon is only recently beginning to grow as more data has emerged. In its most fundamental form, remodeling may be defined as any change in vessel diameter (enlargement or constriction) in response to chronic changes in hemodynamic conditions or humoral factors [1]. With atherosclerosis or after vascular intervention, the coronary artery may exhibit three separate remodeling responses 1) compensatory enlargement, 2) absence of compensation or 3) vascular constriction/shrinkage [2]. Each has substantial implications for the artery lumen.
