Conclusions • PCI induce a systemic inflammatory response • The amplitude of this response correlates significantly with adverse events following PCI, especially restenosis • This response depends mainly on the degree of damage inflicted to the arterial wall (media) and on the degree of plaque inflammation present before PCI • Anti-inflammatory therapy may be beneficial in patients with high CRP following PCI • Many drugs proven to be beneficial during PCI exhibit anti-inflammatory activity which probably contributes to their effectiveness
