Cardiology. 2007;107(4):360-1. doi: 10.1159/000099051. Epub 2007 Feb 2.

Abstract

Restenosis after coronary artery stenting is a common phenomenon and represents a topic of great interest. Although a great volume of research is referring to restenosis, still many issues are not fully understood by the cardiological community. Here we present a case of very late restenosis, after a bare metal stent implantation.
