[Relationship between plasma C-reactive protein level and neointimal hyperplasia volume in patients with zotarolimus-eluting stents. Volumetric analysis by three-dimensional intracoronary ultrasound].

Introduction And Objectives: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory marker that predicts cardiac events in patients with coronary syndromes. However, data on the relationship between the CRP level and in-stent restenosis are contradictory. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the basal CRP level and the neointimal hyperplasia volume measured by intracoronary ultrasound 4 months after implantation of a zotarolimus-eluting stent.
