Abstract
In their original description of the technique, Dotter and Judkins attributed the effectiveness of angioplasty to a redistribution and compression of the atheromatous intima [1]. Recent research, however, has shown that both complex morphologic and physiologic alterations are produced in the vessel wall by angioplasty. In this paper, we review the arterial pathophysiology of angioplasty in order to better understand the basis for its success and failure.
