| Abstract: | Catheter balloon angioplasty is a well accepted form of nonsurgical treatment of acutely and chronically obstructed coronary artery vessels. It is also the centerpiece for various new intervention techniques. Their morphologic effect on the site of obstruction has been termed “remodeling.” Part V of this six-part series focuses on remodeling effects of balloon angioplasty on obstructed young (≤ 1 year) and old (> 1 year) saphenous vein bypass grafts. |
