[The research progress in intravascular stent endothelialization].
Since the introduction of percutaneous transluminal coronary stenting, restenosis has remained the most challenging problem facing interventional cardiologist. Recently, evidences indicate that endothelial cell, especially endothelial stem cell planting stent might provide more insights. In this review several factors related to stent endothelialization are discussed.
