Association of increased serum CTRP5 levels with in-stent restenosis after coronary drug-eluting stent implantation: CTRP5 promoting inflammation, migration and proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells

Increased serum CTRP5 level is associated with ISR after PCI with DES implantation. CTRP5 promotes proliferation, inflammation and migration in vascular smooth muscle cells through activation of multiple pathways.
