In the present invention, a method is provided which reduces or prevents restenosis following revascularization procedures. It has now been found that selective stimulation of adenosine A
2A
receptors can reduce or prevent such restenosis. This method may be achieved either by: (a) the administration of selective adenosine A
2A
receptor agonists, (b) the administration of a selective adenosine A
1
antagonist in combination with either a selective adenosine A
2A
receptor agonist or a non-selective adenosine agonist, or (c) the administration of a selective adenosine A
1
antagonist in order to block adenosine A
1
receptor activation by endogenously-released adenosine. The present invention is also directed to an improved surgical procedure that relies upon selective stimulation of adenosine A
2A
receptors.
本发明提供了一种方法,可减少或防止血管再通手术后的再狭窄。现已发现,选择性刺激腺苷 A
2A
受体可减少或预防此类再狭窄。这种方法可以通过以下方式实现(a) 给予选择性腺苷 A
2A
受体激动剂,(b) 使用选择性腺苷 A
1
拮抗剂与选择性腺苷 A
2A
受体激动剂或非选择性腺苷激动剂,或 (c) 使用选择性腺苷 A
1
拮抗剂,以阻断腺苷 A
1
受体被内源性释放的腺苷激活。本发明还涉及一种改进的外科手术方法,它依赖于选择性刺激腺苷 A
2A
受体。
