Use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging Angiography to Follow-Up Arterial Remodeling in an Animal Model [PDF]
, 1998 Appropriately sized arteries in small animals may be possible models for studying the remodeling process as occurs after arterial balloon injury in humans. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is able to noninvasively image tissue in vivo.

Effects of an alpha-4 integrin inhibitor on restenosis in a new porcine model combining endothelial denudation and stent placement. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Restenosis remains the main complication of balloon angioplasty and/or stent implantation. Preclinical testing of new pharmacologic agents preventing restenosis largely rely on porcine models, where restenosis is assessed after endothelial abrasion of ...

Association of insulin resistance, insulin and leptin levels with coronary in-stent restenosis
The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2012 Background: In-stent restenosis remains the major limitation of coronary stent implantation. Leptin is a hormone strongly related to insulin resistance (IR).

Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]
, 2012 Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

Restenosis following coronary angioplasty
Clinical Cardiology, 1991 AbstractRestenosis is the most important problem limiting the success of coronary angioplasty. Clinically, restenosis is seen in approximately one‐third of patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Several clinical and angiographic risk factors have been identified which may contribute to the development of restenosis ...

Periodontitis Is Associated With Risk of Conventional Stent Restenosis: Pilot Case-Control Study
Frontiers in Dental Medicine, 2021 Objectives: Percutaneous coronary angioplasty with stent implantation has been established as the main form of treatment of atherosclerosis. However, 16 to 44% of patients may evolve with stent restenosis.

Pathogenetic mechanisms of repeated adverse cardiovascular events development in patients with coronary heart disease: the role of chronic inflammation [PDF]
Folia Medica, 2023 Stent restenosis is the most unfavorable complication of interventional treatment for coronary heart disease. We already know from various literature sources that the causes for stent restenosis in patients are both mechanical damage (partial opening ...
