Restenosis after directional coronary atherectomy: Differences between primary atheromatoes and restenosls lesions and influence of subintimal tissue resection [PDF]
Rates of restenosis were evaluated in 70 patients (74 lesions) after successful directional coronary atherectomy. The extent of vascular tissue resection was correlated with restenosis rates for coronary (n = 59) and vein bypass graft (n = 15) lesions ...
