Korean J Intern Med. 2015;30(1):42-48. Published online December 30, 2014
Background/Aims: Although drug-eluting stents (DESs) effectively reduce restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), they also delay re-endothelialization and impair microvascular function, resulting in adverse clinical outcomes. Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) capturing stents, ..
