Coronary vasomotor abnormalities in patients with stable angina after successful stent implantation but without in-stent restenosis
Abstract
BackgroundCoronary angiography is often performed in patients with recurrent or ongoing angina after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in search of an in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, in many of these patients, no significant ISR can be detected. We speculate that enhanced coronary vasoconstriction represents an alternative explanation for angina in these patients.MethodsFrom 1,285 patients with angiographically …
