A decline in platelet activation and inflammatory cell infiltration is associated with the phenotypic redifferentiation of neointimal smooth muscle cells after bare-metal stent implantation in acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: This immunohistochemical investigation was to analyze the relationship between platelet activation/aggregation, inflammatory cell infiltration, the differentiation state of neointimal smooth muscle cells (SMCs), expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and endothelial cell regeneration at sites of bare-metal stents (BMS) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS: Sixteen coronary...
