“…CRP protein levels have been shown to be persistently higher at 6 months in those patients with ISR in some studies (50) but not in others (51), thus suggesting that baseline or post-procedural levels of CRP may help in prediction of ISR more than that at follow-up.…”

“…3). Of interest, Hoshida et al (50) demonstrated that in patients with stable angina, increased pre-procedural CRP levels were an important risk factor for ISR only among patients who were not receiving statins, but not among treated patients. Accordingly, Walter et al (53) showed an interaction among admission CRP levels, statin therapy, and rate of restenosis in patients undergoing BMS implantation.…”

“…Therefore, we believe that preprocedural statin therapy can reduce thrombosis as an acute reaction after stent implantation in patients with stable angina. 20 To our knowledge, this is the first report showing that statins have an antithrombotic effect after stent implantation, using ISR tissue retrieved from patients undergoing DCA. Moreover, in almost all of the previous pathological studies of coronary arteries after stent implantation in humans, the tissues analyzed were obtained at autopsy.…”

“…38 Moreover, our previous report also revealed that statins can reduce persistent inflammation after PCI in patients with stable angina. 20 There are few multicenter studies evaluating the effects of statin on stable angina or acute coronary syndrome in the Japanese population, so we must await future results of some ongoing Japanese studies. 39,40 However, many reports have revealed that the pleiotropic effects of statins may reflect a common mechanism for downregulation of thrombin-mediated events, in particular at the cellular level.…”
