abstract：OBJECTIVE:Dexamethasone-eluting stents are currently under evaluation to prevent post-angioplasty restenosis. The efficacy and safety of dexamethasone as an anti-restenotic agent is still unclear. We assess the effect of perivascular delivery of dexamethasone on vascular pathology in a mouse model of restenosis. METHO...
