Abstract
The role of plasma lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis has been well defined.1 Restenosis after coronary angioplasty is often described as a form of accelerated atherosclerosis due to phenotypic modification and proliferation of medial muscle myocytes. 2 A few recent studies investigated the role of lipoproteins in restenosis, but the results were conflicting.3-5 Modification of lipoprotein profile can halt the progression and even induce regression of coronary atherosclerosis6,7; whether it can also decrease the rate of restenosis is not clear. In this investigation, we examined the effect of the different lipoprotein fractions on the development of restenosis, using the absolute and relative amounts of late loss of luminal diameter as a continuous measure of restenosis.
