Abstract:
The conundrum of restenosis remains the most significant challenge in revascularization techniques. This article reviews the current understanding of restenosis based upon laboratory investigations, clinical experience, and the efficacy of mechanical and pharmacologic interventions that have been attempted to prevent and/or reduce its occurrence. However, terminology really comes into play because restenosis is really the mechanism by which the body heals and is not a rapid deposition of atherosclerotic plaque.
