Neointimal hyperplasia is one of the key components of the restenotic process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a microbubble delivery of c-myc antisense peptide in reducing restenosis after coronary stenting in de novo stenosis with intravascular ultrasound. A Multi-Link Zeta bare metal stent was implanted in de novo coronary artery lesions (RD ≥ 2.5- ≤ 4.0 mm; TL ≥ 15- ≤ 30 mm in length). Serial intravascular ultrasound analyses were performed in 25 lesions. A dose of 16mg RESTEN-MPTM (AVI BioPharma supplied by Global Therapeutics LLC) was intravenously administered after stenting and again 24 hours later. In three centres in Germany a total of 50patients (51 lesions) were enrolled, 34 in Essen, 13 in Coburg and 3 in Heidelberg. Before stenting, the minimal lumen diameter (MLD) and length of stenosis were deter.. View More»
