Expression of inflammatory and apoptosis factors following coronary stent implantation in coronary heart disease patients

► Neutrophil CD11b and monocyte CD11b levels were significantly increased in patients with CHD who underwent coronary stenting. ► The expression levels of CD11b, CD62P and ET increased in CHD patients at 24 h post-operation, and reduced at 72 h post-operation. ► Neutrophil CD178 of apoptosis factor in patients after coronary stenting was maintained at a high level for a period of time. ► Neutrophil CD178 is important for regression of inflammation.
