In this paper some of the irregularities of the assessment of restenosis following angioplasty are documented and practical ways for adapting methodology proposed.
Abstract
The assessment of restenosis following angioplasty has become increasingly important in determining the clinical value of the procedure. Despite this there has been no uniformly accepted methodology for assessing the procedure and consequently the published results have often been misleading with little concensus. In this paper some of the irregularities are documented and practical ways for adapting methodology proposed.

It is estimated that only about 10 to 15 per cent of candidates for bypass surgery have lesions suitable for this procedure, and patients with single-vessel disease appear to be most suitable for the procedure.

Flow response and regional distribution during coronary hyperemia caused by Hypaque are quantitative measures for physiologically assessing critical coronary stenosis and flow reserve with potential applicability to patients.

The results of follow-up angiography in patients from 27 clinical centers enrolled in the PTCA Registry were analyzed and 4 factors associated with increased rate of restenosis were selected: male sex, P TCA of bypass graft stenosis, severity of angina before PTCa and no history of MI before PtcA.

The incidence of restenosis proved to be progressive to at least the third month for all except NHLBI criterion II, and the lack of overlap between the different restenotic criteria applied affirms the arbitrary nature of angiographic definitions currently in use.

Restenosis is most prevalent between 1 and 3 months and rarely occurs beyond 3 months after coronary angioplasty and reached a plateau thereafter.

The hyperemic response after injection of contrast medium, or coronary flow reserve, is in itself a quantitative measure of the pressure-flow-resistance characteristics of coronary constrictions, applicable to patients in assessing the effects of stenoses on coronary hemodynamics.

It is concluded that the biological variations are a source of major concern and that further attempts toward standardization of the angiographic procedure are seriously needed.

The hemodynamic and angiographic result at the time of PTCA significantly influences long-term outcome, but additional measures aimed at reducing the rate of recurrence of atherosclerotic plaque are required.

A significant stenosis present at 30 days after angioplasty was shown by histological examination to be due to organization of mural thrombus, and the pathophysiological response to angiopLasty of the common carotid artery in 38 heparinized normal pigs was investigated by quantification of 111In-labeled platelet deposition and histological and electron microscopic examination.

The previously dilated coronary segment from the patient who died 62 days after angioplasty was stenosed by an extensive recent proliferation of smooth muscle cells that were distributed over the entire circumference of the intimal surface as well as within gaps in the old atherosclerotic plaques.

Coumadin was not show to be more effective than aspirin as adjunctive treatment after PTCA, while aspirin was shown to be superior to coumadin in patients with a longer history of angina.

It is suggested that wall laceration with exposure of smooth muscle cells to blood may have initiated the excessive fibrocellular tissue response and may be the underlying pathogenetic mechanism for the occurrence of early restenosis after transluminal coronary angioplasty.

In patients without variant angina before PTCA, adjunction of diltiazem to platelet inhibitors does not decrease the incidence of restenosis, suggesting that coronary spasm is not the major mechanism of restanosis.

The frequency of detecting progressive arterial changes tended to increase as the interval between studies increased (p < 0.001), and progression was more frequent in patients younger than 50 years than it was in patients 50 years and older.

Indications for recatheterization did not correlate significantly with progression, but a higher progression percentage was found in patients who had sustained a myocardial infarction during follow-up than in those who had not (p < 0.05).

When repeat angioplasty was applied to patients with restenosis, over 80% of the group improved at an average follow-up time of 21 months, and Symptomatic Restenosis may occur less often when higher balloon inflation pressures are used during PTCA.

To determine the changes in stenotic and nonstenotic segments of a dilated coronary artery, detailed quantitative angiographic measurements were performed in 342 patients immediately after angioplasty and at a predetermined follow-up time of 30, 60, 90 or 120 days after the dilation.

There has been little evidence to suggest that alteration of these risk factors in the individual who already has disease either retards or reverses the disease, thereby altering the risk of death.
