Background Restenosis remains the major limitation of percutaneous coronary revascularization. Macrophages release cy tokines, metalloproteinases, and growth factors that may induce smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation. We tested the hypothesis that primary lesions that develop restenosis after coronary atherectomy have more macrophages and smooth muscle cells than primary lesions that do not develop restenosis.Methods and Results Fifty patients with unstable angina were identified. Total and segmental areas were quantified on trichrome-stained sections of coronary atherectomy tissue. Macrophages and smooth muscle cells were identified by immunohistochemical staining. Restenosis, defined as >50% stenosis diameter by quantitative cineangiography, was present in 30 patients. The other 20 patients (
