ResumoWe studied whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition with quinapril treatment can prevent in-stent restenosis after successful implantation of Palmaz-Schatz stents. Intravascular ultrasound study, but not quantitative coronary angiography analysis, revealed that quinapril treatment significantly prevented the loss of both minimal lumen cross-sectional area and lumen volume in stents, in addition to reducing the increase in intimal hyperplasia volume.
