Clinical trials of restenosis after coronary angioplasty.
Since its introduction more than 10 years ago, coronary angioplasty has been limited by a 30-40% incidence of restenosis, typically developing within 3-6 months of the procedure.12 The interactive biological processes responsible for re-stenosis have generally been attributed to varying degrees of three pathological mechanisms. First, depending on the relative fibrocellular, sclerotic, and calc...
متن کاملRestenosis after coronary angioplasty for rapidly progressive coronary stenosis.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty performed on coronary stenoses that have demonstrated rapid angiographic progression would be associated with a high risk of restenosis. BACKGROUND High rates of restenosis have been documented after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of unstable lesions and of lesions that recur rapidly after a success...
متن کاملN-3 fatty acids do not prevent restenosis after coronary angioplasty: results from the CART study. Coronary Angioplasty Restenosis Trial.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate whether omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) reduce the occurrence of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. BACKGROUND Meta-analyses have shown significant reduction of restenosis after coronary angioplasty upon supplementation with n-3 FA. METHODS In a prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, 500 patients wer...
متن کاملImpact of cilostazol on restenosis after percutaneous coronary balloon angioplasty.
BACKGROUND Restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary (balloon) angioplasty (PTCA) remains a major drawback of the procedure. We previously reported that cilostazol, a platelet aggregation inhibitor, inhibited intimal proliferation after directional coronary atherectomy and reduced the restenosis rate in humans. The present study aimed to determine the effect of cilostazol on restenosi...
متن کاملRESTENOSIS AFTER BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY AND/OR STENT INSERTIONaORIGIN AND PREVENTION A review of the literature
Due to research advances in vascular biology, assessment of the vasculature as a conduit for circulating blood has been successively revisited during the past century. At present, the vasculature is known as a complex organ, capable of synthesizing and secreting a wide variety of biological mediators and responding to numerous chemical and mechanical signals. Obstructive vascular disease, mainl...
