In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a novel pathobiologic process, histologically distinct from
restenosis after balloon angioplasty and comprised largely of neointima formation. As …

Background This review examines the history, incidence, aetiology and pathology of
recurrent carotid stenosis, and assesses the methods and results of managing patients with …

Background—Although percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a highly
effective procedure to reduce the severity of stenotic coronary atherosclerotic disease, its …

Background Apoptosis has been recognized in normal, including rapidly proliferating, cell
populations and is inferred to be potentially responsible for the maintenance of stable cell …

Background Vascular myocyte apoptotic cell death has been reported in human
atherectomy and endarterectomy specimens and for neointimal smooth muscle cells (SMCs) …

Thin hydrogel barriers formed on the inner surface of injured arteries by interfacial
photopolymerization dramatically reduced thrombosis and intimal thickening in rat and …

Objective: To determine whether diabetic patients, when compared with nondiabetic
patients, have a higher incidence of restenosis after coronary stenting, and, if so, whether …

Predicting and preventing arterial restenosis after angioplasty has failed despite
considerable research into mechanisms and techniques. We examined the roles of chronic …

Vascular interventions for atherothrombotic disease frequently induce neointima formation,
which can contribute to restenosis of blood vessels. As the molecular mechanisms of this …

Background Vascular disease progresses more slowly in females with functional ovaries
than in males. The mechanisms of this vasoprotective effect of female sex are incompletely …
