Figure 2 Schematic of a Kinetic Model of Restenosis, Thrombosis, and Adverse Events Post-Stenting

The double arrows indicate reversible state-to-state transitions and the single arrows indicate irreversible transitions. The rate of each transition can be quantified in terms of an empirical rate constant or transition probability (not illustrated). Such models can be used to predict the time-dependent prevalence of each state over relatively long periods of follow-up.
