Relation of lumen size to restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty. Lovastatin Restenosis Trial Group.
The relation between post-percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (post-PTCA) and angiography indexes were investigated in the Lovastatin Restenosis Trial. Post-PTCA percent diameter measured by the operator was found to be a weak predictor of angiographic and clinical follow-up restenosis.
