Rupture of the arterial wall causes deflection in pressure time course during ex vivo balloon angioplasty [PDF]
, 1997 A relation between restenosis and arterial lesions resulting from balloon angioplasty has been suggested in literature. Nevertheless, it is unclear to what extent angioplasty-induced arterial wall lesions contribute to the occurrence of restenosis.
