Abstract
Renal artery angioplasty with stent placement induces an inflammatory response, as evidenced by increased IL-6 production. Additionally, IL-6 seems to identify patients prone to develop restenosis; therefore, it might be used as an early predictor of restenosis after renal angioplasty with stent placement. However, larger studies are required to confirm IL-6 as a potential predictor of restenosis.
