Plasma levels of interleukin 18, interleukin 10, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 and -137G/C polymorphism of interleukin 18 are associated with incidence of in-stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract excerpt

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the levels of IL-18, IL-10, and MMP-9 and -137G/C polymorphism of interleukin 18 with the risk of in-stent restenosis (ISR). The study population consisted of 68 patients with ISR, 173 in non-ISR group, treated with drug-eluting stent and evaluated by coronary angiography post-procedure and at follow-up, and also 109 without angiographic evidence of coronary...
