Coronary artery and saphenous vein graft remodeling: a review of histologic findings after various interventional procedures--Part II.
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 II of this six-part series focuses on morphologic causes of acute closure after remodeling and discusses findings late after successful balloon angioplasty remodeling.
