Catheter balloon angioplasty is a well accepted form of nonsurgical treatment of acutely and chronically obstructed coronary artery vessels. It is also the centerpiece for various new intervention techniques. Their morphologic effects on the site of obstruction has been termed “remodeling.” Part III of this six‐part series focuses on intimal proliferation and chronic recoil in patients undergoing previous remodeling techniques by balloon angioplasty.
