[Restenosis and vascular response after angioplasty: physiopathological data].
Our purpose is to review the different mechanisms involved in the vascular response following percutaneous coronary revascularization, and their role in thrombotic complications and in restenosis. Specificities related to the various techniques of percutaneous coronary revascularization (balloon angioplasty, coronary stents, brachytherapy, drug eluting stents) are discussed.
