Relation between the Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism of the Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme Gene and Restenosis after Coronary Stenting

Abstract

The ACE I/D polymorphism is significantly associated with risk of angiographic and clinical restenosis after coronary stenting. Angiographic pattern of restenosis is also significantly associated with I/D polymorphism, diffuse type being more prevalent among subjects with D/D genotype.
