Why the study?
Does higher pre-procedural mean platelet volume predict restenosis in patients undergoing single vessel coronary angioplasty?

47 patients undergoing single vessel angioplasty for symptomatic angina
Comparison
Higher pre-procedural mean platelet volume (MPV) vs Lower pre-procedural mean platelet volume (MPV)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
4-8 months

Elevated pre-procedural MPV was associated with restenosis after angioplasty; leaves open whether MPV measurement should guide therapy.
Does higher pre-procedural mean platelet volume predict restenosis in patients undergoing single vessel coronary angioplasty?
Larger pre-procedural mean platelet volume is associated with an increased risk of clinical and angiographic restenosis after successful single-vessel coronary angioplasty.
Smyth et al. (1993) studied this question.
