Abstract
Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) are supposed to attenuate cell proliferation and reduce restenosis rate. Histologic finding from coronary artery after SES implant showed fibrosis and inflammatory infiltrate, revealing a chronic inflammatory reaction. Extension of coronary inflammatory reaction after stenting needs clarification. The long-term consequences are unknown.
