Changes of serum level of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 after coronary stent implanation / 中国介入心脏病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes of the serum level of IL-6 and IL-10 as well as their significance after coronary artery stent implantation. Methods The study involved 30 patients who underwent coronary artery stent implantation. Blood stamples were taken from the femoral arteries before and 24h after successful coronary stenting. Serum concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured and complications as well as the occurance of restenosis were observed after the procedure. Results The concentration of IL-6 in femoral aterial blood was significantly higher after 24 hours of stent-implantation (214.6?118.0 ng/L vs 175.8?81.8 ng/L, P 0.05, and the ratio of IL-6/IL-10 increased (3.2?1.9 vs 2.3?1.0, P
