What about pleiotropic modifiers of preprocedural pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant milieu in patients undergoing drug eluting stent implantation?
Abstract

Medications for cardiometabolic risk factors as the modifiers of preprocedural pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant milieu should be considered in all patients.
