Six-month results of stenting of the femoropopliteal artery and predictive value of interleukin-6: Comparison with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.

CONCLUSIONS: Femoropopliteal artery angioplasty with stent placement induces an inflammatory response. Interleukin-6 is a powerful independent predictor of intermediate-term outcomes for stenting of the femoropopliteal artery, suggesting that its predictive value may be superior to that of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
