Use of ACE inhibitors against the formation of neo-intima after vascular infliction

摘要

ACE inhibitors are able to suppress the formation of neointima and the reduction of the vessel volume owing to vessel wall thickening after a vessel injury. They are accordingly suitable for the treatment and prevention of neointima formation after vessel injury, in particular for the prevention of arterial restenosis after angioplasty or of vessel wall thickening after vascular surgery in arteries and veins.
