Abstract

The inflammatory response to percutaneous coronary intervention is largely driven by direct mechanical trauma induced by balloon inflation and/or stent deployment. The role of inflammation in the development of restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions has been investigated in several studies. There is an interaction of inflammatory activation and vascular wall response to injury leading to intimal hyperplasia. In the clinical setting there are several methods for the recognition of the inflammatory activation and the treatment of inflammation before, after percutaneous coronary interventions.
