Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to clarify the role of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism in the development of in-stent restenosis. BACKGROUND: In-stent restenosis occurs after treatment of coronary artery stenosis in 12% to 32% of coronary interventions with stents. Experimental and clinical studies have suggested that the deletion/insertion (D/I) polymorphism of the ACE gene plays a role in...
