Role of restenosis in determining adverse outcome after coronary angioplasty vs bypass surgery

Compr Ther. 1999 Aug-Oct;25(8-10):434-7. doi: 10.1007/BF02944295.

Abstract

A group of patients who did not have restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was compared with a group receiving coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Restenosis only partially accounted for the greater morbidity after PTCA compared with CABG.
