title: One month follow-up C-reactive protein may be a useful predictor of angiographic restenosis and long-term clinical outcomes after bare metal stent implantation.
abstract: We report C-reactive protein (CRP) measured 1 month after stenting was an independent predictor of angiographic restenosis, and patients with both elevated preprocedural CRP and CRP 1 month after stenting had the worst long-term clinical outcomes. Measurement of CRP during follow-up in addition to preprocedural CRP may improve risk stratification after coronary stenting.
