Can you tell me what the risk factors are here. I have no heart damage and this is elective because of exertion angina. Second what are the risks of restonis of stents after the procedure, and what can I do to prevent restenosis. The restenosis post angioplasty is a different animal so to speak than restenosis following angioplasty with stent. I hope this information is useful.
