About

This is a prospective cohort, one center. twenty patients who will undergo percutaneous stent implantation with everolimus eluting stent will be include. The primary endpoint was the correlation between the change (baseline vs. 1 week) in the number of circulating endothelial progenitor cells and in cell functionality following an everolimus eluting stent implantation with the grade of neointimal hyperplasia measured by optical coherence tomography

Full description

For the purpose of the study, flow cytometry analyses will be performed before intervention, at 1 week, 1 month and 9 months. In addition, cell functionality analyses will be performed by quantification of colony forming units, aldehidrodehidrogenase activity, cell proliferation by WST-1 and senescence by !-galactosidase enzyme. At 9 months the degree of neointimal proliferation will be measured by optical coherence tomography . A clinical follow-up will be performed at 1 year. Secondary endpoints include: 1. to correlate the change in the number and cell functionality of circulation progenitor cells following everolimus eluting stent and the injury score analyses measured by optical coherence tomography, and the percentage of non covered struts by optical coherence tomography at 9 months.

2.-. To evaluate the role of other subtypes of cells CD 133+/Kinase Insert Domain Receptor (KDR+), CD 14+, mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial cell markers (VE cadherina, P1H12), integrin expression of Macrophage-1 antigen (MAC-1) and the development of neointimal hyperplasia.
