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.

In angioplasty of the aorta (the major abdominal artery) or the iliac arteries (which branch off from the aorta), a small, expandable tube called a stent is usually put in place at the same time. Reclosure (restenosis) of the artery is less likely to occur if a stent is used.
