A polymer coated cicaprost-eluting stent increases neointima formation and impairs vessel function in the rabbit iliac artery [PDF]
, 2016 Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing in-stent restenosis but are not suitable for all lesion types and have been implicated in causing late stent thrombosis due to incomplete regeneration of the endothelial cell layer.

Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy in elective percutaneous coronary intervention
Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2001 Thrombosis plays a major role in acute vessel closure both after coronary balloon angioplasty and after stenting. This review will address the role of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy in preventing early thrombotic complications after percutaneous ...

What to Do with Epicardial Coronary Artery Abnormalities That do not Result in Myocardial Ischemia?
Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2019 When epicardial arteries with minimal CAD do not limit flow are found at coronary angiography, all cardiologists agree that aggressive risk factor modification and use of appropriate drugs are warranted.
