  Endothelial Function Post-PCI: Mechanisms and Predictive Value for Long-Term Outcomes
  Author(s): Wei Ling Tan
  
  Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a widely used procedure for treating Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), particularly for patients with obstructive lesions in the coronary arteries. By re-establishing blood flow through stent placement or balloon angioplasty, PCI provides immediate relief from symptoms such as angina and reduces the risk of acute events like Myocardial Infarction (MI). However, despite the significant short-term benefits of PCI, patients often face long-term challenges, including restenosis, stent thrombosis, and adverse cardiovascular events. A growing body of evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction, a condition where the endothelium—the inner lining of blood vessels—fails to perform its normal functions, plays a critical role in det..
