Do genetic inflammatory factors predict restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions?
Polymorphisms in 4 genes considered involved in the inflammatory reaction showed an association with TVR after PCI. Our results may contribute to the unraveling of the restenotic process. Given the explorative nature of this analysis, our results need to be replicated in other studies.
In the case presented, PTA of the IJV confluence resulted in haemodynamic improvement despite the presence of IJV external compression.
