Abstract

Arterial restenosis associated with intimai hyperplasia at stent revascularization sites remains the major cause of long-term failure. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of flow in promoting endothelial cell migration and the effect of reendothelialization on smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation. This study demonstrated that re-endothelialization reduces SMC proliferation and migration and provides model systems to study approaches to increasing endothelial healing.
