Does coronary angioplasty replace, delay, or complement aortocoronary bypass surgery?

abstract：:The cytokine hypothesis presently suggests that an excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF) and interleukin 6 (IL6), contributes to the pathogenesis of heart failure. The concept, successfully proved in genetically modified animal models, failed to translate to hum...
