Histopathology of restenosis after stenting of narrowed coronary arteries after cardiac transplantation during the teenage years.
This study describes the detailed histopathologic appearance of human coronary arteries at 3 weeks, and 3 and 7 months after stent implantation in a cardiac transplant recipient. There was modest arterial injury associated with stent implantation, and immunocytochemistry staining provided evidence that a proliferative response from the adventitia contributes to neointimal hyperplasia.
