Hypothesis-generating for ACE inhibitors in restenosis prevention; leaves open translation to human angioplasty outcomes.
Do ACE inhibitors and other vasoactive compounds suppress neointima formation following balloon catheter-induced vascular injury in rats?
ACE inhibitors strongly suppress neointima formation following vascular injury in a rat model, suggesting a potential mechanism to prevent restenosis after angioplasty.
Powell et al. (1990) studied this question.
