Restenosis, defined as the re-narrowing of an arterial lumen after revascularization, represents an increasingly important issue in clinical practice.

Restenosis begets restenosis: implications for stent selection [PDF]
Identifying the risk for restenosis is of critical importance in the stent selection process of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, we sought to determine if a history of clinical recurrence (CR) after PCI increases the risk of CR after treatment of a de novo lesion in another coronary artery.We retrospectively ...

Inhibition of in-stent stenosis by oral administration of bindarit in porcine coronary arteries [PDF]
<p><b>Objective:</b> We have previously demonstrated that bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs), is effective in reducing neointimal formation in rodent models of vascular injury by reducing smooth ...

A polymer coated cicaprost-eluting stent increases neointima formation and impairs vessel function in the rabbit iliac artery [PDF]
Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing in-stent restenosis but are not suitable for all lesion types and have been implicated in causing late stent thrombosis due to incomplete regeneration of the endothelial cell layer.

In the past decade, tremendous progress has been made in reducing the incidence of restenosis with the advent of the drug-eluting stent (DES). With “plain old balloon angioplasty,” rates of acute and chronic vessel occlusion were unacceptably high at ≈30% to 60%, secondary to acute and chronic recoil and constrictive remodeling.

Pathogen burden, inflammation, proliferation and apoptosis in human in-stent restenosis - Tissue characteristics compared to primary atherosclerosis [PDF]
Pathogenic events leading to in-stent restenosis (ISR) are still incompletely understood. Among others, inflammation, immune reactions, deregulated cell death and growth have been suggested. Therefore, atherectomy probes from 21 patients with symptomatic

Use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging Angiography to Follow-Up Arterial Remodeling in an Animal Model [PDF]
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.

Hyperhomocysteinemia and recurrent carotid stenosis
Background Hyperhomocysteinemia has been identified as a potential risk for atherosclerotic disease in epidemiologic studies. This study investigates the impact of elevated serum homocysteine on restenosis after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Methods In a

BackgroundIncreasing evidence suggests that insulin resistance is linked to cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index has proven to be a convincing marker to quantitatively evaluate insulin resistance.
