Objectives Background -Neointima hyperplasia and arterial re modeling are themain mechanisms of restenosis after percutaneoustransluminal coronary angioplasty. The successful useof coronary stents neutralizes the ac ute elastic recoiland improves the remodeling mode with reducingrestenosis rate by 10 % . But the in - stent neointimahyperplasia becomes more severe. This study aims toset up model of in - stent restenosis in vivo, and to e-valuate the preventive role of implantation of valsartaneluting stent for restenosis. Methods and ResultsTwenty -two male New Zealand white rabbits were di-vided into control group and valsartan group. In-travascular ultrasonic (IVUS) results showed the in-trastent neointimal areas of the control group werelarger than those of the valsartan group ( P ＜ 0.01 ) .The minimal lumen area of control group was smallerthan that of the valsartan group ( P ＜ 0.01). Angiog-raphy results showed the normal lumen diameters weresimilar between two groups ( P＞ 0.05) . The lumenstenosis rates compared with the normal diameters ofthe valsartan group were significantly improved overthat of the control group ( P ＜ 0. 05) . It was compa-rable to the IVUS analysis. There were no cases of a-neurysm or thrombosis. Conclusions Valsartan e-luting stents produced a significant inhibition ofneointimal hyperplasia and luminal encroachment inrabbits without obviously producing any serious side -effects. These results demonstrate the potential thera-peutic benefit of valsartan eluting stents in the pre-vention and treatment of human coronary restenosis.
