Abstract: Vascular endothelial injury is the initial manifestation of coronary atherosclerosis,and currently there are many researches on the mechanism of vascular endothelial injury.If the risk factors for coronary athero-sclerotic heart disease (CAD)are sustained and not reversed,endothelial dysfunction will occur,followed by coro-nary remodeling,and ultimately will lead to the occurrence of CAD.The study on the mechanism of vascular endo-thelial injury and vascular remodeling plays an important role in predicting the development of CAD and guiding the treatment of CAD.Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)is one of the main revascularizations for coronary heart disease.With the evolution of drug-eluting stents,the incidence of thrombosis and restenosis caused by vascu-lar endothelial injury after PCI is reduced.Biocompatibility of coronary stent technology is also improved based on the mechanism of vascular endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling.
