Abstract
This study sought to evaluate the effect of cilostazol in preventing restenosis after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in 68 patients: 35 patients received cilostazol immediately after PTCA and 33 patients received aspirin or ticlopidine. Repeat coronary angiography was performed 4 to 6 months after PTCA and the incidence of restenosis was significantly lower (17%) in the cilostazol group than in the non-cilostazol group (40%) (p < 0.05), which indicates that cilostazol has the potential to prevent restenosis after PTCA.Entities:
