Abstract

Percutaneous coronary revascularisation has become much safer and efficacious since its introduction more than 25 years ago. Currently, the need for surgical back-up is small and the rate of late complications is lower than 10%. Further improvements are being studied, especially directed towards more biocompatible stents, using pharmacological principles with wider therapeutic windows and enhancing the vascular healing response/reendothelialisation. This article reviews several activities within the ICIN theme group 'Vessel Wall'.
