Drug-Eluting Stent and Coronary Thrombosis: Biological Mechanisms and Clinical Implications

TL;DR: Evidence of a substantially higher risk of stent thrombosis in drug-eluting stents in DES remains inconclusive; as a consequence, both large-scale and long-term clinical trials are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue factor in cardiovascular diseases: molecular mechanisms and clinical implications.

TL;DR: Tissue Factor (TF) is the key initiator of the coagulation cascade; it binds factor VIIa resulting in activation of factor IX and factor X, ultimately leading to fibrin formation as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory Markers at the Site of Ruptured Plaque in Acute Myocardial Infarction Locally Increased Interleukin-6 and Serum Amyloid A but Decreased C-Reactive Protein

TL;DR: Coronary levels of IL-6 and SAA at the site of plaque rupture were increased relative to the systemic circulation, indicating local production of biologically active inflammatory mediators.
