Restenosis following coronary angioplasty.
The assessment of restenosis following angioplasty has become increasingly important in determining the clinical value of the procedure. Despite this there has been no uniformly accepted methodology for assessing the procedure and consequently the published results have often been misleading with little concensus. In this paper some of the irregularities are documented and practical ways for adapting methodology proposed.
