Vasoconstriction occurs after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) along the dilated vessel. The vasomotor changes, initiated by the mechanical stretch of the stenotic region, are thought to be due to various mechanisms but whether the sympathetic nervous system plays a role in this phenomenon remains unknown.
