Arterial Wall Temperature Following Coronary Stent Implantation in Pigs: The Role of Post-Stent Inflammation
08/01/2008
Arterial endoprostheses (stents) are widely used to improve angioplasty outcome and successfully restore the reduced vascular lumen. However, the metallic nature of stents causes some degree of arterial wall inflammation. This inflammation is...
