In order to elucidate factors affecting the rate of angioplasty restenosis, we reviewed 212 published reports on restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. We used five specific methodologic standards to select the 31 reports most likely to produce unbiased results. Sixty one factors judged to be related to restenosis rate were investigated. Only shorter duration of data collection (p=0.0003) was related to higher restenosis rate. This factor may be related to inexperience in choosing subjects or performing procedures. Other factors whose association with restenosis rate did not reach our predetermined level of statistical significance (p less than .01) were angioplasties of the left circumflex artery (p=.02), angioplasty of total occlusions (p=.02) and advanced age (p=.05). The association of shorter data collection with higher restenosis rates suggests that improved outcome may result from consolidation to a few centers specializing in this technique.
