Role of platelet glycoprotein PL(A1/A2) polymorphism in restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
This study suggests a macroheterogeneity in prevalence of platelet glycoprotein PL(A1/A2) polymorphism in different ethnic populations. In patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, this polymorphism does not represent an independent risk factor but seems to be implicated in restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
