Endothelial progenitor cells mobilisation after percutaneous coronary intervention: a pilot study.

CONCLUSIONS: Baseline EPC levels are related with the extension of the lesion and stenosis whereas the kinetics of EPC mobilization showed to be related with C-reactive protein concentration. Endothelial activation seems to occur in response to EPC mobilization or vascular damage by PCI. PMID: 27310267 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
