Causes and risk factors for stent restenosis in patients after percutaneous coronary interventions

In stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention

Inflammation and restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions.

The role of inflammation in the development of restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions has been investigated in several studies. There is an interaction of inflammatory activation and vascular wall response to injury leading to intimal hyperplasia. Percutaneous interventions trigger inflammatory reactions leading to the development of intimal hyperplasia. This reaction is even more...

Genetic inflammatory factors predict restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions.

BACKGROUND Restenosis is a negative effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). No clinical factors are available that allow good risk stratification. However, evidence exists that genetic factors are important in the restenotic process as well as in the process of inflammation, a pivotal factor in restenosis. Association studies have identified genes that may predispose to restenosis, ...

Coronary collaterals and risk for restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions: a meta-analysis

BACKGROUND The benefit of the coronary collateral circulation (natural bypass network) on survival is well established. However, data derived from smaller studies indicates that coronary collaterals may increase the risk for restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies was to explore the impact of the coll...

Factors Associated with In-stent Restenosis in Patients Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

AIM to determine factors associated with In-Stent Restenosis (ISR) in patients following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). METHODS a retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary information from medical records of post-PCI patients who underwent follow-up of angiography PCI between January 2009 and March 2014 at The Integrated Cardiovascular Service Unit, Cipto Ma...
