Restenosis, the proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMC) that
line blood vessels, often follows angioplasty. Despite advances in
cardiology, restenosis continues to affect up to 40% of the over
500,000 patients who undergo angioplasty each year. Applications of Antisense Therapies to Restenosis is the first
volume to address the potential of using antisense therapies to
inhibit the restenosis that occurs after percutaneous transluminal
angioplasty and coronary stenting. The work critically examines the
application of various antisense therapies for inhibiting restenosis.
