To examine the relation of plasma lipoproteins to the proliferative response after arterial injury in humans, we examined the plasma lipid, lipoprotein, and apoprotein levels of 20 patients with early recurrent stenosis caused by intimal hyperplasia after carotid endarterectomy. These were compared with 20 controls who had no evidence of recurrent stenosis by duplex ultrasound scanning.
