[The role of endothelium and certain parameters of hemostasis for thrombotic complications in endovascular surgery of coronary arteries].

Cardiovascular diseases are still the main cause of death despite various measures in all countries around the world. Coronary artery disease is the most common cardiovascular disease following atheromatous lesions of coronary arteries. Coronary artery disease describes a range of clinical disorders from asymptomatic atherosclerosis and stable angina to acute coronary syndrome. One of the most effective methods of surgical treatment for coronary artery disease is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The number of PCIs has actively increased in recent years. Thrombotic events in various vascular basins are serious complications of PCI. This article describes the role of endothelium, platelet activation, and hemostatic parameters in occurrence of thrombotic complications after PCI.
