This was the beginning of modern confirmation that we are not alone in the universe. The story involves the recovery of bodies, secrecy, and death threats. Dozens of witnesses have sworn and testified to what they saw.
Numerous experimental observations suggest that local factors play a major role in the pathophysiology of restenosis. Angioplasty is invariably associated with arterial injury that provides a potent stimulus for both platelet adhesion and platelet aggregation.umerous experimental observations suggest that local factors play a major role in the pathophysiology of restenosis.

Many advances have been made in the percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease during the past 30 years. Although balloon angioplasty alone is still performed, the use of coronary artery stents is much more common. Approximately 40 percent of patients treated with balloon angioplasty developed restenosis, and this was reduced to roughly 30 percent with the use of bare-metal stents.
