The Porcine Model of Coronary Restenosis

Year: 2001

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Human coronary restenosis remains an elusive problem, and a major limitation of all percutaneous interventional coronary revascularization procedures, despite intracoronary stenting (1–9). Restenosis has recently gained even greater importance, since trials comparing PTCA with coronary bypass surgery (BARI, EAST, CABRI) suggest that angioplasty is comparable therapy for cardiac events and symptoms, but the two differ strikingly regarding the need for repeat interventions and cost (10–12). Restenosis lies at the center of these problematic differences.
