The aim of the present study was to test for possible associations between candidate gene polymorphisms and the risk of restenosis and recurrent restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) without stenting. We followed up 511 PTCA patients, and restenosis and recurrent restenosis were defined according to angiographical criteria. Genotyping of the beta-fibrinogen -455 G/A, glycoprotein...
