Background:
The inflammation responses and oxidative stress were closely associated with coronary heart disease. We tried to evaluate the effects of multiple stents, long stents and small-diameter stents on inflammation responses and oxidative stress in the elderly patients with long diffuse reocclusions.
Methods:
The blood samples were obtained after an overnight fast and we evaluated the expression levels of soluble ST2 (sST2), acrolein (ACR), aldosterone (ALD), angiotensin II (Ang II), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), malondialdehyde (MDA) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the elderly patients with long diffuse reocclusions after multiple stents, long stents, small-diameter stents implanted.
Results:
Levels of sST2, ACR, ALD, Ang II, TLR4, TNF-α, MDA and hs-CRP were remarkably increased (P < 0.001) in the elderly patients with long diffuse reocclusions after multiple stents, long stents, small-diameter stents implanted. The multiple stents, long stents and small-diameter stents may promote inflammatory response and oxidative stress, and led to long diffuse reocclusions in the elderly patients. The multiple stents, long stents and small-diameter stents may play the key roles in long diffuse reocclusions of the elderly patients.
Conclusions:
The inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers could be considered as potential non-invasive diagnostic, predictive, prognostic and therapeutic molecular biomarkers for long diffuse reocclusions in the elderly patients after implantations of multiple stents, long stents and small-diameter stents.
