Correlation between the dynanic changes of serum high-sensitivity Creactive protein and restenosis after internal carotid artery stenting / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the dynamic change of serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) after carotid artery stenting (CAS) and its correlation with in-stent restenosis.Methods The serum hsCRP levels were determined before procedure,at 12 hours,7 days,3 and 6 months after procedure in patients who underwent CAS in the Department of Neurology,Jinling Hospital,Nanjing Their cerebral angiography was reexamined and whether there was in-stent restenosis after 6 months was observed.Results Eighty-four patients treated with CAS were included in the study.Fifteen (24％) had in-stent restenosis after CAS.The stenosis in 3 of them was ＞ 50％,and the stenosis m 12 of them was 30％ to 50％.The serum hs-CRP levels in all patients after procedure were significantly higher than those before treatment (all P ＜ 0.01 ),and they were significantly lower at 6 months after procedure than before treatment (all P ＜0.01).Univariate analysis showed that the proportion of diabetes in the restenosis group was significantly higher than that in the non-restenosis group (P＜0.01).At 7 days (8.83 ± 1.94 mg/L vs.6.77 ± 1.63 mg/L,t =14.398,P=0.044),3 months after procedure (8.26 ± 1.32 mg/L vs.4.58 ± 1.45 mg/L,t =17.569,P =0.008) and 6 months after procedure (7.04 ± i.07 mg/L vs.3.12 ± 1.28 mg/L,t =21.867,P =0.003),the serum hs-CRP levels in the restenosis group were significantly higher than those in the non-restenosis group,and the difference of the serum hs-CRP level (△ hs-CRP) before procedure and at 6 month after procedure was significantly lower than that in the nonrestenosis group (0.85 ± 0.13 mg/L vs.4.89 ± 0.94 mg/L,t =16.987,P =0.000).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that /hs-CRP (odds ratio [ OR] 2.392,95％ confidence interval [ CI] 1.538 -3.513; P =0.009) and diabetes (OR 1.840,95％ CI 1.372 -2.241; P =0.023) were the risk factors for instent restenosis.Conclusions The serum hs-CRP level increased significantly at 12 hours after CAS procedure,and then decreased continuously.At 6 months after procedure,the more decrease of the serum hs-CRP level,the lower risk of occurring in-stent restenosis was.
