Abstract excerpt
Plasma and tissue concentrations of the angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) have been shown to be associated with the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism. The purpose of this study was to examine the relation of ACE levels in atherosclerotic plaques to the ACE I/D polymorphism and to restenosis after balloon angioplasty and directional atherectomy (DCA). The study included 104 patients who underwent DCA...
