Increased levels of MMP-3, MMP-9 and MPO represent predictors of in-stent restenosis, while increased levels of ADMA, LCAT, ApoE and ApoD predict bare metal stent patency

Abstract

Increased levels of MMP-3, MMP-9, and MPO represent predictors of ISR after bare-metal stent implantation. In contrast, increased ADMA, LCAT, and Apo E and D indicate a decreased in-stent restenosis occurrence.
