Atorvastatin Accelerates Both Neointimal Coverage and Re-Endothelialization After Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation in a Porcine Model

Abstract

Atorvastatin pretreatment can accelerate both neointimal coverage and re-endothelialization after SES implantation, which may be mediated by the mobilization of EPC and enhancement of the endothelial function of the neointima.
