title: Restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
abstract: Restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was demonstrated in 61 (29%) of 210 successfully treated patients. Mostly it occurred within 4 months after treatment and in arteries less than 3 mm in diameter. Careful clinical follow-up is therefore particularly important early after angioplasty of smaller arteries. Redilation can be performed without increased risk of restenosis.
