Restenosis remains the major challenge to percutaneous coronary intervention procedures, despite substantial improvements. Standard balloon angioplasty results in restenosis in 30–50% of patients within several months after successful revascularization [1], requiring repeat target vessel revascularization. Placement of stents effectively reduces early restenosis due to elastic recoil of the artery, but there is increased late restenosis due to excessive intimal hyperplasia, yielding an overall restenosis rate of about 20–30% [2]. Although this restenosis . . . [Full Text of this Article]
