title: Restenosis following coronary artery angioplasty: patterns, recognition, and results of repeat angioplasty.
abstract: Restenosis is an important problem confronting PTCA. Controversy relative to the long-term outcome of PTCA continues to be fueled by this important problem. At present, certain patterns related to clinical, anatomic, and procedural considerations can be identified as related to restenosis. No interventions based on data from controlled trials offer conclusive treatment to substantially prevent restenosis risk.
