Role of restenosis in determining adverse outcome after coronary angioplasty vs bypass surgery.
A group of patients who did not have restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was compared with a group receiving coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Restenosis only partially accounted for the greater morbidity after PTCA compared with CABG.
