Transluminal coronary angioplasty and early restenosis. Fibrocellular occlusion after wall laceration.

Abstract: Transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed in a 51 year old man with a localised narrowing of the proximal segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Initial inflations with a small size balloon catheter were unsuccessful. A second attempt, during the same procedure, using a larger calibre catheter relieved the obstruction but produced a dissection. Angina pectoris reappeared approximately three months later. Another attempt to relieve the obstruction by angioplasty, five months after the in… Show more

“…The role of platelets in coating a damaged surface immediately after PTCA' 45 " 47 ] and that of thrombus organization' 42 ' has been demonstrated for restenosis in the animal model. Intimal proliferation of smooth muscle cells seems to be the main mechanism of recurrence in man' 40 " 41 " 43 '. It can be triggered by platelet-derived growth factors, but might also be provoked by the balloon injury itself independently of serum factors' 481 and thus even under antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.…”

“…4 Last, autopsy studies of restenotic lesions have failed to show thrombus as the predominant material. [5][6][7] In only a minority of cases that show restenosis in the first few weeks after PTCA can thrombus or suboptimal initial dilatation or both be considered a primary mechanism. Although some degree of mural thrombus formation after PTCA may be an important initiating or contributing factor, thrombosis per se probably does not determine the final response in most cases.…”

“…The pathogenesis of lesion recurrence after initially successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and alternative angioplasty procedures is not well defined, but neointimal cellular proliferation and thrombus formation have been im-plicated as components ofnew tissue growth (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). In addition, production ofextracellular matrix, principally collagen and glycosaminoglycans, within the neointima has been shown to be a prominent feature of the late phase of restenosis lesions, both experimentally and clinically (8)(9)(10).…”
