摘要
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) especially stent implantation has now become a mainstay of therapeutic armamentarium in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease even at clinically or angiographically high risk. However, restenosis requiring reintervention remains a major limitation and a challenging problem of percutaneous revascularization. 1 Despite the use of coronary stents, the rate of restenosis is still relatively high,
