Abstract:
Restenosis and thrombus at the site of implanting cardiovascular devices remains a significant problem in the practice of interventional cardiology. Recently, lots of studies reveal that endothelial impairment was considered as one of the most important mechanisms contributing to restenosis. The method of accelerating endothelial regeneration at the injury site could prevent restenosis and thrombus, so such methods are of importance for improving the effectiveness of interventional therapy for atherosclerosis. This paper summarized the progress in researches in-vivo re-endothelialization at the site of intravascular stent.
