Coronary stenting is commonly used to treat coronary disease but often leads to restenosis of the artery. Restenosis involves thrombosis, inflammation, and smooth muscle cell growth forming scar tissue. It is clinically defined as recurrent ischemia and angiographically as over 50% diameter stenosis. Drug-eluting stents significantly reduce restenosis by inhibiting cell proliferation through local drug release but increase thrombosis risk requiring prolonged anticoagulation. Restenosis results from overlapping biological processes after stenting and achieving its perfect elimination remains a challenge.
