Key result
Catheter balloon angioplasty and other interventional techniques induce morphologic effects at the site of obstruction, a process termed remodeling.

Remodeling mechanisms after angioplasty merit attention in device selection; leaves open prospective trials linking histology to clinical events.
Catheter balloon angioplasty is a well accepted form of nonsurgical treatment of acutely and chronically obstructed coronary artery vessels. It is also the centerpiece for various new intervention techniques. Their morphologic effects on the site of obstruction has been termed "remodeling." Part I of this six-part series focuses on mechanisms of remodeling after various interventional techniques, particularly balloon angioplasty.

Waller et al. (1996) conducted a review in Acutely and chronically obstructed coronary artery vessels. Catheter balloon angioplasty and other interventional techniques was evaluated on Mechanisms of remodeling. Catheter balloon angioplasty and other interventional techniques induce morphologic effects at the site of obstruction, a process termed remodeling.
