Association of plasma homocysteine with restenosis after percutaneous coronary angioplasty.
AIMS Restenosis after percutaneous coronary angioplasty remains an important limitation of this procedure. This study evaluates whether elevated total plasma homocysteine levels contribute to the development of restenosis after coronary angioplasty. METHODS AND RESULTS Two hundred and five patients were recruited after successful angioplasty of at least one coronary stenosis (> or =50%). End-...
متن کاملPlasma asymmetric dimethylarginine predicts restenosis after coronary angioplasty
INTRODUCTION Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous competitive inhibitor of endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Asymmetric dimethylarginine may influence the process of restenosis after coronary angioplasty. The aim of the study was to determine if initial plasma ADMA level could predict restenosis after coronary angioplasty and stenting. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study group cons...
متن کاملPlasma homocysteine and restenosis after femoropopliteal angioplasty.
PURPOSE To assess the relationship between plasma homocysteine levels and restenosis after femoropopliteal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. METHODS Over a 10-month period, 128 consecutive, symptomatic patients (72 men; median age 70 years) having successful femoropopliteal angioplasty for atherosclerotic occlusive disease were prospectively enrolled in the study. Plasma homocysteine lev...
متن کاملComparison of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A, troponin and creatine kinase-MB levels in acute coronary syndrome
Background: Early diagnosis and proper treatment of patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and ischemic heart disease are important in determining prognosis, preventing adverse effects, and may even save lives. In this study, the level of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in ACS patients was compared with the control group, in addition to cardiac Troponin (cTn) and creatine kin...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus and restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty To the Editor: Manegold et al1 compared the incidence of prior cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and the risk of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in 92 consecutive patients. A total of 65% of these patients were positive for IgG CMV antibodies. At 6 months, angiographic restenosis was similar in CMV-positive and ...
