Abstract excerpt
Restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a considerable problem in long-term performance of cardiovascular stents, with a functional endothelial cell monolayer being important in its prevention. This study evaluates the influence of polymer coatings on human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) and coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMC) in vitro, in terms of morphology, cell number, and...
