Lipoprotein(a) in restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and coronary artery disease.

Abstract

Serum lipoprotein(a) levels are not associated with restenosis after PTCA, but elevated levels are strongly associated with CAD. Low-serum, high-density lipoprotein-2 cholesterol concentration and elevated apolipoprotein B concentration were found to be associated with restenosis after PTCA.
