CAS results in a significant increase in plasma P-selectin, vWF and endothelin-1. The post-CAS levels of P-selectin, vWF and endothelin-1 are related to the extent of endothelial injury. Whether they are associated with restenosis 12 months after the treatment requires further investigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
