Repeat coronary angioplasty: Correlates of a second restenosis

To identify the correlates of a second restenosis after repeat percutaneous coronary angioplasty, the records of 384 patients with single vessel disease who underwent repeat angioplasty for restenosis complicating a first elective angioplasty were examined. A second restenosis occurred in 47 (31%) o...

Description
Summary:To identify the correlates of a second restenosis after repeat percutaneous coronary angioplasty, the records of 384 patients with single vessel disease who underwent repeat angioplasty for restenosis complicating a first elective angioplasty were examined. A second restenosis occurred in 47 (31%) of 151 patients having angiographic follow-up. Univariate correlates of a second restenosis were an interval between the first and the second angioplasty 90% before the second angioplasty (67 versus 29%, p < 0.05), final gradient >20 mm Hg after the second angioplasty (52 versus 28%, p < 0.05) and an additional site requiring dilation at the time of the second angioplasty (50 versus 29%, p = 0.10). Multivarlate predictors of a second restenosis were an interval of
