2000, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The lack of effect of pharmacologic agents may be explained by additional factors leading to restenosis. Intravascular ultrasound examination, which delineates the vessel wall structures (38), suggests that shrinkage of the vessel wall, with only slight intimal thickening, is the predominant cause of postinterventional luminal loss (remodeling) (9,10,39). Pharmacologic agents administered in therapeutic doses seem to be inadequate to limit the shrinkage of the vessel wall at the lesion site, and this may explain the failure of restenosis reduction in this study and most other studies.
