Abstract
Recent studies have indicated that coronary restenosis after balloon angioplasty is the sum of geometric remodeling and neointimal formation. A proportional relationship between acute gain and late lumen loss has been observed in clinical trials. The aims of this study were to evaluate (1) the contribution of geometric remodeling and neointimal formation to the proportional gain-loss relationship after PTA or stenting and (2) the relationship between geometric remodeling and neointimal formation.
