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.

Advances in this technique have expanded the indications for the procedure, dramatically improved safety, and reduced the rate of restenosis1,2 (Table 12â4). Many factors contributed to the growth of percutaneous coronary intervention, but the development of coronary artery stents was the pivotal event.
