Key result
Lipoprotein(a) and fibrinogen were studied for their possible association with the incidence of restenosis, which occurs in 30-40% of cases after successful coronary angioplasty.
Why the study?
Are Lipoprotein(a) and fibrinogen associated with restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty?

Lp(a) and fibrinogen should not yet inform restenosis risk after angioplasty; leaves open their predictive value in prospective cohorts.
Restenosis after primarily successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), which occurs in about 30–40 % of the cases remains a major limiting factor of this procedure. In order to study the possible association of the incidence of

Stein et al. (1995) studied this question. Lipoprotein(a) and fibrinogen were studied for their possible association with the incidence of restenosis, which occurs in 30-40% of cases after successful coronary angioplasty.
