Aim. To study the significance of clinical parameters and cardiovascular risk factors (CVR) for restenosis development at long terms after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a possible displaying of neoatherosclerosis development (NA).Material ...

Association of insulin resistance, insulin and leptin levels with coronary in-stent restenosis
Background: In-stent restenosis remains the major limitation of coronary stent implantation. Leptin is a hormone strongly related to insulin resistance (IR).

An investigation into the influence of stent strut thickness on in-stent restenosis using the finite element method [PDF]
In-stent restenosis represents the major limitation for stenting procedures. In-stent restenosis is the renarrowing o f the artery lumen within a stent predominantly due to excessive growth of neointimal hyperplasia.

Safety and efficacy of sirolimus- and paclitaxel-eluting coronary stents. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The safety of drug-eluting stents has been called into question by recent reports of increased stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and death.

Results of Coronary Stenting for Restenosis
This study attempted to analyze immediate and long-term angiographic and clinical results of coronary stent implantation for restenosis in a consecutive group of patients.The rate of stent utilization in patients with coronary artery disease has increased exponentially in recent years.

Prevention of Coronary Restenosis [PDF]
Restenosis, the time-limited renarrowing of the lumen of a coronary artery, affects 20% to 40% of patients in the months after an initially successful intervention.1 2 As such, it represents the extreme form of the healing response that produces a normally distributed amount of late loss in lumen diameter at all interventional sites.3 To some extent ...

BackgroundCoronary restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) still remains a significant limitation of the procedure. The causative mechanisms of restenosis have not yet been fully identified.

Effects of an alpha-4 integrin inhibitor on restenosis in a new porcine model combining endothelial denudation and stent placement. [PDF]
Restenosis remains the main complication of balloon angioplasty and/or stent implantation. Preclinical testing of new pharmacologic agents preventing restenosis largely rely on porcine models, where restenosis is assessed after endothelial abrasion of ...

Genetic variants of the promoter of the heme oxygenase-1 gene and their influence on cardiovascular disease (The Ludwigshafen risk and cardiovascular health study) [PDF]
Background Heme oxygenase-1 is an inducible cytoprotective enzyme which handles oxidative stress by generating anti-oxidant bilirubin and vasodilating carbon monoxide.

Role of Interleukin-18 in vascular injury: a new pharmacological target for the prevention of restenosis [PDF]
Background: Studies in humans as well as in animal models suggest that interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a crucial role in vascular pathologies. IL-18 is a strong predictor of cardiovascular death in angina and is involved in atherotic plaque destabilization.
