A method is disclosed for attenuating stenosis after balloon angioplasty. The method comprises administering to a host parenterally or locally to the luminal surface of the blood vessel subjected to said balloon angioplasty an effective amount of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) for a prolonged period of time sufficient to substantially reduce the extent of restenosis. An exemplary amount of the TFPI is from about 0.5 mg/kg to about 6 mg/kg during a prolonged administration of about twelve (12) hours to 36 hours.
