coronary restenosis


Also found in: Dictionary.

coronary restenosis

The recurrence of narrowing of coronary arteries arter treatment by balloon angioplasty or other means. STENTING is reliably capable of preventing restenosis especially is antiproliferative-drug-eluting stents are used. In-stent restenosis is treated by intracoronary gamma and beta irradiation. Antisense therapies or gene therapy may prove important im managing restenosis.

The prospective, randomized, double-blind trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of a slow-release dose formulation paclitaxel-eluting TAXUS stent system for the treatment of coronary restenosis. More than 1,000 patients are scheduled to be enrolled at 80 sites, stated Boston Scientific.
The TAXUS program is a series of clinical studies designed to collect data on Boston Scientific's proprietary paclitaxel-eluting stent technology for reducing coronary restenosis, the growth of scar tissue within an artery after angioplasty and stenting.
