Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Current treatment strategies aimed at treating the symptoms and consequences of obstructive vascular disease have embraced both optimal medical therapy and catheter-based percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents. Drug-eluting stents elute antiproliferative drugs inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, which occurs in response to injury and thus prevents restenosis. However, all drugs currently approved for use in drug-eluting stents do not discriminate between proliferating vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells, thus delaying re-endothelialization and subsequent vascular healing.
