Abstract excerpt
Intracoronary stent implantation is associated with a significantly lower risk of restenosis compared with balloon angioplasty. However, restenosis still occurs in some cases. Experimental studies suggest that the tissue factor pathway is involved in this phenomenon. We investigated a possible relationship between three previously identified polymorphisms of the tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) gene and...
