Efficient inhibition of in-stent restenosis by controlled stent-based inhibition of elastase: a pilot study.
J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2004; (11): 1287-93
It is proposed that local elastase inhibition could suppress the extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and subsequent smooth muscle cell migration and limit subsequent in-stent restenosis. This study evaluated the effect of stent-based controlled elastase inhibition on restenosis after stent implantation in a rabbit model.
