Abstract
Aim: The use of drug-eluting stents has reduced the incidence of in-stent restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention; however, almost all drugs eluting from polymers on stents induce antiproliferative effects on vascular endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. Due to injury of the endothelium and delayed reendothelialization, the risk of thrombosis increases over time. Enhancing rapid reendothelialization after stent placement...
