Acute increases in plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein immediately after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
To investigate the acute changes in plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein before and immediately after coronary angioplasty, we studied 132 consecutive patients who successfully underwent this procedure. Plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein levels were significantly increased immediately after coronary angioplasty in patients with stable angina pectoris as well as in those with acute coronary syndromes.
