Absence of relationship between plasma Lp(a), Lp-AI, anti-oxidized LDL autoantibodies, LDL immune complexes concentrations and restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
摘要
To determine the relation between the concentration of Lp(a), LpAI, immunological markers of LDL oxidation (antioxidized-LDL autoantibodies (LDL-AB), LDL immune complexes (LDL-IC)) and restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in a Caucasian population (France), we studied 77 consecutive patients who successfully underwent PTCA. All were evaluated by follow-up angiography at an average of 6 months after PTCA and were divided into two groups: existence of restenosis (32 patients, group (G+)) and absence of restenosis (45 patients, negative group (G−)). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was higher in the restenosis positive group than in the negative group (28%versus 2%respectively, P
