Why the study?
Are elevated plasma active MMP-9 levels associated with symptomatic coronary artery in-stent restenosis?
Are elevated plasma active MMP-9 levels associated with symptomatic coronary artery in-stent restenosis?
Elevated plasma active MMP-9 levels are independently associated with bare metal stent in-stent restenosis and may serve as a predictive biomarker.
