Figure 1 Bar graph showing the incidences of angiographic restenosis (diameter stenosis 50% at six-month follow-up angiography) and clinical restenosis (need for target vessel revascularization due to symptoms or signs of ischemia in the presence of angiographic restenosis at the stented site over one year after stent placement) in patients treated with angiotensin Iconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (solid bars) and those not treated with ACE inhibitors (open bars).
