restenosis

The rates of restenosis and/or stroke following the treatment were also favorable.

And the fact that cytomegalovirus was associated with restenosis also made sense, he added.

A return of a blockage after it has been cleared is known as restenosis.

Insights into restenosis may also open a window on the problem of atherosclerosis in general.

Approximately 30 percent of patients develop significant in-stent restenosis within one year.

If restenosis is diagnosed, treatment will depend on the condition of the valve.

However in some cases, the procedure itself can cause further narrowing of the vessel, or restenosis.

Computers cannot predict which patients develop restenosis, but they can help a doctor select the best treatment and strategy.

The major advancement in restenosis prevention is the use of stents.

Prevent the artery wall from collapsing or closing off again (restenosis).

If restenosis occurs, another angioplasty or bypass surgery may be needed.

Symptoms may also suggest or signal restenosis, but this should be confirmed by imaging.

Paclitaxel is also used for the prevention of restenosis.

If restenosis develops, another stent procedure can often be used to solve the problem.

Cardiologists have tried about 50 drugs to stop this process, called restenosis, but none have worked.

There is no way to predict who develops a restenosis and whether it will be focal or diffuse.

Stents lower the risk of the artery narrowing again (restenosis).

The stent helps prevent the artery from closing again (restenosis).

This problem, restenosis, occurs in about one-third of cases in the first six months after the procedure.

If restenosis occurs without a stent, it is usually treated with more angioplasty.

At least 30 percent of the estimated 400,000 people who undergo angioplasty annually end up suffering from restenosis.

Sometimes these symptoms are due to the mitral valve narrowing again (restenosis).

But it is also important to note that not all cases of restenosis lead to clinican symptoms, or be asymptomatic.

Some researchers are optimistic that the restenosis problem might be helped by physically bracing the artery against collapse.

But in about 25 percent of recipients, stents set off serious inflammation and scarring known as restenosis.
