- The topic of this thesis is early and late luminal narrowing after percutaneous
transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty as assessed by quantitative angiography,
and the role of two possible risk factors: elastic recoil and dissection.
In Chapter 2, an review is given of the pharmacological agents that have been
tested in the animal model and postangioplasty patients.
In Chapter 3 and 4, the methodological problems in the assessment of elastic
recoil, stretch and balloon-artery ratio and the role of el
