abstract：:Elevated fibrinogen levels after coronary balloon angioplasty have been reported to be useful in predicting restenosis. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the relationship between preprocedural fibrinogen levels and the 6-12-month outcomes of patients undergoing coronary stenting. Plasma levels of fibrinogen were measur...
