Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) plays a critical role in the vascular response to injury. However, the role of NF-kappaB in the mechanism of in-stent restenosis remains unclear. We therefore tested the hypothesis that blockade of NF-kappaB by stent-based delivery of a cis-element "decoy" of NF-kappaB reduces in-stent neointimal formation.
