Abstract excerpt
Early restenosis in over 30% of cases limits the benefits of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). The mechanisms that underlie restenosis are uncertain, although experimental evidence suggests that the renin-angiotensin system is involved in the vascular response to angioplasty....
