Restenosis may reverse early regional LV recovery post-angioplasty; hypothesis-generating for surveillance in hypokinetic segments.
Does significant coronary restenosis limit the recovery of regional left ventricular dysfunction achieved after successful coronary angioplasty?
Significant coronary restenosis partially reverses the early improvement in regional myocardial function achieved after successful coronary angioplasty.
Melgares et al. (1993) studied this question.
