The closing or narrowing of an artery that was previously opened by a cardiac procedure such as angioplasty.
The recurrence of a stenosis or narrowing.
Recurrent narrowing of a heart valve or artery after corrective surgery.
Narrowing of a structure. This can occur after complete opening of a structure, duct or canal as restenosis of a coronary artery after a PTCA procedure
literally means the reoccurrence of stenosis (which is abnormal narrowing of an artery or other blood vessel).
Re-narrowing of the artery at the site of angioplasty or stenting due to the overgrowth of normal scar.
the recurrence of narrowing in a blood vessel or within a stent after angioplasty
A recurrence of narrowing equal to or greater than 50% of the diameter of the blood vessel.
recurrence of the blockage or narrowing of the artery or valve.
Recurrent blockage or narrowing of a previously treated vessel.
recurrent stenosis; a reactive cellular proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells due to injury which is often refractory to therapy with antiplatelet agents, angiotensin-converting enzyme antagonists or cytotoxic drugs.
The recurrence of a stenosis in a coronary artery.
The recurrence of stenosis after corrective surgery or the narrowing of a structure (usually a coronary artery) after the removal or reduction of a previous narrowing.
re-narrowing or blockage of an artery at the same site where angioplasty was previously done. click image for more detail
A recurring blockage caused by excessive cell proliferation inside the artery following an interventional procedure such as angioplasty or stenting.
Arterial blockage that reappears after vessel dilation Short Message Service (SMS): Digital communication technology for text message transmission over the GSM network Sinus node: The natural pacemaker, located in the right atrium, that generates the natural electric signals that flow through the heart, causing it to beat regularly Sinus node recovery time: Time necessary for an overpaced sinus node to begin again with intrinsic actions; ensures the efficiency of the sinus node
The "renarrowing" of a blood vessel or heart valve that had been opened a using a catheter-based cardiovascular procedure.
Narrowing of a blood vessel that may occur after a percutaneous coronary intervention is done to open the blockage.
return of blood vessel blockages after treatment
A re-narrowing or blockage of an artery a the same site where angioplasty was previously done. J K W X Y Z
Significant recurrance of narrowing after treatment, usually PTCA (see Angioplasty)
The gradual reclosing of an artery after an angioplasty.
The re-occlusion or closure of an artery after a new channel has been formed using a balloon or stent.
is the re-closing or re-narrowing of an artery that was previously opened or widened by angioplasty or stenting.
Renarrowing of an artery, usually used when it occurs after a procedure to widen a blockage, such as angioplasty or atherectomy.
Renarrowing of a blood vessel that has been widened (with or without stents) during angioplasty (see Cardiovascular Health).
The growth of neointimal tissue within an artery after angioplasty and stenting.
Significant recurrence of narrowing after treatment.
The gradual re-closing of an artery after it has been widened through a procedure such as angioplasty.
Restenosis literally means the reoccurrence of stenosis. This is usually restenosis of an artery, or other blood vessel, but possibly any hollow organ that has been "unblocked". This term is common in vascular surgery, cardiac surgery, interventional radiology, or interventional cardiology following angioplasty, all branches of medicine that frequently treat stenotic lesions.
