Coronary artery and saphenous vein graft remodeling: a review of histologic findings after various interventional procedures--Part I.
Catheter balloon angioplasty is a well accepted form of nonsurgical treatment of acutely and chronically obstructed coronary artery vessels. It is also the centerpiece for various new intervention techniques. Their morphologic effects on the site of obstruction has been termed "remodeling." Part I of this six-part series focuses on mechanisms of remodeling after various interventional techniques, particularly balloon angioplasty.
