Морфологическая характеристика стентированных коронарных артерий, пораженных атеросклерозом

Abstract

As a result of research conducted on the coronary arteries taken from 11 deceased with atherosclerosis and after surgery (number of vessels studied segments — 156) found that the prevalence of smooth muscle cells and foamy macrophages in the cellular infiltrate wall stented segments, thinning capsules atheroma in such areas, the increase in plaque size may indicate that stenting activates mechanisms of remodeling of the vascular wall, leading to destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque and thrombosis, or increased growth and, as a consequence, to restenosis.
