Interventional cardiologists have focused great interest and resources on vascular healing. The obvious reasons for this interest relate to what happens after vascular segments have been manipulated—expanded, stretched, cracked, or otherwise broken—during percutaneous intervention. The earliest energies focused on what happened after balloon dilatation alone. There were four possibilities: (i) a significant dissection developed which disrupted flow and resulted in acute or threatened closure, (ii) the artery was initially stretched but then recoiled within the first 24 h, (iii) the artery healed . . .
