Abstract

The inflammatory response after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent between coronary lesions with positive (PR) and negative remodeling (NR) might be different. In 68 patients, the changes of the hs-CRP from baseline to 24 h after PCI and the intimal hyperplasia (IH) volume at follow up were significantly higher in the PR. A positive correlation was noted between the changes of the hs-CRP from baseline to each stage (24 h and 72 h) and the IH volume. This prospective study showed that an increased IH in lesions with PR after PCI might be associated with an increased inflammatory response.
