The effects of stenting on shear stress: relevance to endothelial injury and repair

Stent deployment following balloon angioplasty is used routinely to treat coronary artery disease. These interventions cause damage and loss of endothelial cells (EC), and thus promote in-stent thrombosis and restenosis. Injured arteries are repaired (intrinsically) by locally derived EC and by circ...
