The Profile of Circulating Matrix Metalloproteinases in Patients Undergoing Lower Limb Endovascular Interventions for Peripheral Arterial Disease

This study documented the periprocedural profile of circulating MMPs in patients undergoing angioplasty/stenting for PAD. The implications of increased MMP-3 and MMP-7 activity after peripheral endovascular interventions and their potential clinical relevance require further investigation.
