Plaque inflammation in restenotic coronary lesions of patients with stable or unstable angina.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate immunohistochemically various parameters of inflammation in coronary atherectomy specimens obtained from restenotic culprit lesions of patients presenting with either stable or unstable angina (UA). BACKGROUND There is no information regarding the relationship between atherosclerotic plaque inflammation and the severity of the coronary syndromes in patients with resteno...

Migratory activity of human smooth muscle cells cultivated from coronary and peripheral primary and restenotic lesions removed by percutaneous atherectomy.

BACKGROUND The successful cultivation of human smooth muscle cells (SMC) from coronary and peripheral atherosclerotic lesions removed by percutaneous directional atherectomy is described. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-seven patients in whom plaque material was obtained compose the study population. A total of 73 lesions from both coronary (n = 38) and peripheral (n = 35) arteries of primary (n = ...

Cytomegalovirus and restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty To the Editor: Manegold et al1 compared the incidence of prior cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and the risk of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in 92 consecutive patients. A total of 65% of these patients were positive for IgG CMV antibodies. At 6 months, angiographic restenosis was similar in CMV-positive and ...

Evidence Implicating Nonmuscle Myosin in Restenosis

Background. Identification of genes that are specifically activated in restenosis lesions after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty represents a necessary step toward molecular manipulation designed to inhibit cellular proliferation responsible for such lesions. Whereas quiescent smooth muscle cells (contractile phenotype) preferentially express smooth muscle myosin, proliferating smooth musc...

Human Vascular Restenosis Lesions

Human atheromata obtained in vivo were used to test the hypothesis that transforming growth factor-(31 plays a role in the development of vascular restenosis. We analyzed 28 specimens from patients with primary atherosclerotic or restenotic lesions; 26 of these were obtained by directional atherectomy and 2 at the time of coronary bypass surgery. Seven control tissues included operatively excis...
