Repeat revascularization after acute coronary syndrome: risk factors and potential targets for therapeutic intervention

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening condition, for the treatment of which modern methods of myocardial revascularization are used, but in the long-term follow-up period, coronary artery restenosis often occurs, which requires re-intervention. There are many factors that influence the risk of developing long-term complications. Moreover, most of them, such as age, heredity, anatomical features of damage to the coronary arteries, are non-modifiable. At the same time, there are a number of indicators that influence the likelihood of developing restenosis, which can become a potential target for therapeutic intervention. The search for predictors of lumen loss in stented arteries is an urgent problem.
