Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We have previously shown that the intramuscular transfer of the anti-monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene (called 7ND) is able to prevent experimental restenosis. The aim of this study was to determine the in vivo efficacy and safety of local delivery of 7ND gene via the gene-eluting stent in reducing in-stent neointima formation in rabbits and in cynomolgus monkeys. METHODS AND RESULTS: We...
