Approximately 10%-20% of patients with acute cardiovascular disease who have received coronary intervention suffer restenosis and high inflammation. The stent compound paclitaxel+hirudin was prepared for the treatment of post-intervention restenosis. This study aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory and anti-restenosis mechanisms of paclitaxel+hirudin with regard to the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.
