title: Interrelation between atherosclerosis and restenosis.
abstract: Atherosclerosis and restenosis following PTCA share many pathophysiologic features although they differ in the inciting stimuli and in their time-course. Both are characterized by an inflammatory reaction of the vessel wall whose modulation may offer therapeutic approaches for either entity.
