Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Homozygotes for the normal (A) allele of mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) gene have higher risks to develop an early restenosis after eversion carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Activation of the lectin pathway is regulated by C1-inhibitor (C1-INH). The objective of the present study was to determine the predictive value of C1-INH in restenosis after CEA. METHODS AND RESULTS: C1-INH and MBL-associated serine...
