Sealing old plaques, seeding new plaques [PDF]
European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012 In stent restenosis (ISR) is a heterogeneous phenomenon. The classical paradigm is neointimal proliferation in response to vessel wall injury often in combination with incomplete stent expansion. Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been designed to reduce or eliminate hyperplasia and in fact dramatically reduced restenosis and target lesion ...
