A member asked:
What is restenosis and how is it treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narrowing again: Usually an artery that has been dilated or stented, or operated, redevelops plaque or scar and is narrowed= stenosed again . Repeat dilation or surgery has a reasonable chance of correcting the issue.
