Randomized trial examines morphology changes post angioplasty in patients, suggesting mechanisms of vascular improvement.

This study aims to clarify the mechanisms behind the success of transluminal angioplasty in improving arterial stenosis.
Evaluated tissue from patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
Analyzed changes in morphology and the behavior of atheromatous plaques post-procedure.
Findings indicate significant endothelial desquamation after angioplasty.
The splitting of atheromatous plaque was observed, contributing to the widening of the vascular lumen.

Block et al. (1981) studied this question.
