Abstract

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is now a widely practised technique for coronary revascularization. Acute procedural success has been considerably improved by continuing development of adjunctive catheter and radiographic imaging technology so that approximately 95% of all lesions can be safely dilated without the consequential occurrence of major adverse per-procedural cardiac events [1, 2]. Restenosis, a fibroproliferative hyperplasic healing response to arterial wall injury imparted during intervention, continues to represent the most significant obstacle to maintained long term success after coronary balloon angioplasty, and has rightfully been called the Achilles’ heel of the percutaneous approach to revascularization [3].
