| Abstract: | Introduction: The CYP2C19 *2 allele is associated with reduced response to clopidogrel which may increase the risk of stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This allele has recently been linked with peripheral and vertebral artery in-stent restenosis (ISR). The aim was to determine whether there is an association between *2 allele carrier status and coronary ISR. |
