Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The fibrinolytic system is closely related to several processes that are involved in restenosis. We have previously shown that high pre-procedural plasma levels of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) antigen predicted angiographic restenosis. The aims of this study were to evaluate the relationship between Thr325Ile polymorphisms, plasma levels of TAFI antigen, and late angiographic...
