Neointimal hyperplasia and endothelial function after percutaneous coronary intervention
Abstract:
Percutaneous coronary revascularisation has become much safer and efficacious since its introduction more than 25 years ago. Currently, the need for surgical backup is small and the rate of late complications is lower than 10%. Further improvements are being studied, especially directed towards more biocompatible stents, using pharmacological principles with wider therapeutic windows and enhancing the vascular healing response/reendothelialisation. This article reviews several activities within the ICIN theme group `Vessel Wall'.
