Abstract excerpt
The effect of preprocedural fibrinogen levels on in-stent restenosis is largely unknown. The -455G/A polymorphism of the fibrinogen beta-gene is associated with baseline plasma level or acute phase increase of fibrinogen. Therefore, we hypothesized that there is a relationship between this polymorphism and preprocedural fibrinogen level and clinical restenosis at follow-up among patients with coronary stent...
