Abstract
Methods and kits are provided for at least inhibiting the progression of, if not preventing, restenosis in a host. In the subject methods, a vascular site is contacted, usually flushed, with a solution having a pH that is less than about 4, e.g. a hydrochloric acid. The subject methods find use in applications where the prevention of restenosis is desirable, including angioplasty applications, and may be used in combination with other treatment modalities, e.g. stents, and the like.
